General Information
| Action Summary |
The Virginia Professional Boxing and Wrestling Events Regulations provide for the licensure of boxers, martial artists, wrestlers, managers, matchmakers, promoters, trainers, seconds, and cut men; and provide for the licensing of, and conduct standards for, boxing, martial arts, and wrestling events.
Section 18VAC120-40-295.E of the Event Licensing and Conduct Standards for Boxing in the regulation provides that boxers who weigh-in 24 hours prior to a scheduled boxing event must re-weigh two (2) hours prior to the event’s scheduled start time and will not be permitted to exceed the weight specified in the contract by more than 10 pounds.
This action proposes repealing the requirement for boxers to re-weigh two (2) hours prior to the scheduled start time for a boxing event when the weigh-in occurs 24 hours prior to the event start time.
