HAND WRAPS During the 2016 Rio Olympics male boxers were using professional style hand wraps. This resulted from a change in AIBA Rules allowing the use of pro style hand wraps at Rio 2016 and was no doubt introduced as professional boxers were allowed to box in Rio 2016. Technical Rules Chairman Gio Brugnoli’s responsibility in Rio was equipment manager who has advised that around 90% of hand wrapping that was carried out by trained individuals, with very few nations having suitably trained coaches. In view of this it would be inappropriate to allow pro style hand wrapping at grassroots level at present. When boxing abroad or Internationally the European Union Boxing Commission have granted permission to allow pro wraps to be used for Elite men which England Boxing agree is in order. Under no circumstances should one boxer use pro wrapping and his opponent use the standard “amateur” wraps.
