turning pro

Does anyone know health requirements regarding eyesight ?
My eyesight on my left eye is only 40%. Would that cause me problems getting a pro licence in future ?

 

my right eye is like that mate.theres a few boxers got denied them because of eye sight so they have had to get you know that eye surgery.but i dont think just the likes of reading glasses is a problem because margarito wears glasses. obviously if your eyesight is to poor they wont pass you beause they fear that you wouldnt be able to see punches,its harder than amateur boxing medical tests.in the amateurs they dont even test you they just ask do you wear glasses,to which you lie and say "no"

 

did you get round to having amateur bouts?

 

Yeah I've had 3, lost 2.
I'm not planning to turn pro anyway. just wondering.

 

Optician said it's not bad enough to have a surgery but I do need glasses for reading only. I guess I should be alrite then...

 

smoking joe had a bad eye did he not? and he fought pro..

 

Do you not tihnk the requirements and safety standards might have changed somewhat since then?

 

I was never asked if i wore glasses...

 

I know for Ams they dont test you, unless it has changed, but then again i have never had probs with my eyes so would not know any different! check bbboc website buddy
