So will they still have the youth Division 17-18?

The shouldve just went back to old age requirements. Its possible that a 17 yr old could be the best on the planet at thier weight. Claressa Shields just proved it in 2012 Olympics

Throw in Benitez on the pro level winning World Title at 17. I didn't even know that Joe Ward beat an Olympic Gold Medalist till recently, major props

There's no way they will put a 17 or 18 year old fighter in with no headgear, that would be irresponsible regardless of how good the kid is.
