As a combat sport, boxing is naturally predisposed to injury. With the objective of knocking out the opponent, boxers, their coaches, cornermen, and cutmen go into each match expecting at least minor injuries and need to be ready to patch up contestants in the short intervals in between rounds.
But it’s not just in the heat of the match that injuries happen. Boxers must be prepared for damages when training and sparring too. Going into the ring for any reason without properly wrapped hands could be a serious mistake.
Cuts and bruises or swelling of the face along with injury to the fingers, knuckles and wrists are commonplace, with a concussion, sprains, ripped ears and dislocation being more serious occurrences. Boxing has even been known to lead to deaths and brain damage in the worst cases. Having the right protection when entering the ring and receiving medical attention with the correct tools can be the difference between a surface injury and lifelong damage.
Martial arts are at a higher risk of COVID-19 infection, being held in close quarters, with both opponents aiming to make physical contact throughout the match. Now more than ever, boxing teams and gyms need to be vigilant in keeping infection rates down. Risk assessment, PPE and infection control products are absolutely essential if the fight is to go on.
KO Tape
Injuries to your hand can put you out of action and even end your career. Look after your hands, wrists, knuckles and fists in the ring with resilient KO tape that won’t give up.
Chosen by professionals, our KO tape immobilises the small joints in your hands, giving you the confidence you need in each hit.
For professional-level protection, use KO tape on top of KO wrap. 100% cotton Sterosport KO wrap is flexible but doesn’t stretch, offering full support of the knuckles, keeping you ahead of the competition.
