The Board of Directors voted to remove headguards for women boxers in IBA-championship and sanctioned events at the elite level, bringing this in line with their male counterparts. The IBA will implement a three-month transitional period, and after June 2024 the rule will come into force. It is part of the latest amendments to the IBA Technical & Competition Rules, which also sees changes made to boxer nationality and eligibility.

More importantly, what will the IOC do?
They follow IBA rules which say that elite class men should not wear headguards. Will they follow this one?
