    I don't think there is one planned for Scotland any time soon, but I don't think there is any age limit, I personally wouldnt take anyone younger than 12

    i remember seeing kevin mitchell with his 3 year old son on his knee at a show recently, thought it was a bit of putting. i think you should have to be 12.

    It depends on the licence of the venue.

    I would rate a boxing show as a "PG" certificate.

    By that though surely you would want an age limit at football games?

    no mate

    i'm talking about the antics of the benn fight a few years back and as said above the harrisson herbie situation, little kids shouldn't be there in them situations. with football i see your point but you have more structure on security i been to shows where security have really struggled to deal with 20 fans who came to watch one fight.

    I went to Haye-Macca and I was just an innocent 15 year old. Me and about 10 mates are planning on going Khan-Barerra dressed as Mexicans too. :D
