    At the end of the day Boxing is real. Religion isn't.

    After they started calling Cattle Grids by the name Animal Grids because it was meant for more than just cattle, I have not been surprised by anything.

    Some of my favourite beards.

    Elmar Weisser always comes up with some amazing beards - that genuinely is a moose on one side:

    Their holy book must be pretty stupid if it says you have to have a beard.

    With Sikhism, I think you're not allowed to shave your beard at all.

    Islam, however, has differing opinions amongst scholars. But it's a minor issue. Some believe keeping a beard is just recommended as oppose to being mandatory. Others believe there's no option, and that a man must keep a clean, well preserved beard. That's why you get some who keep one, and some who don't.

    The rule is rightly there, if boxing is that important to you, then surely religious beliefs are a secondary thought?

    As for the cold sore thing, again the sport is dangerous enough, without fighters, particularly young amateurs, taking further risks.

    You may think that is political correctness gone mad, but one of the main problems of this sport, is there is simply not enough political correctness.

    I agree...:yep

    Amateur Boxing is a sport, Pro Boxing is a brutal business...:deal

    You can see the news headlines if they let people with beards box and somebody got a cornea abrasion and was to lose their sight in either eye...:yep

    My position is clear, no beards in Amateur Boxing...:yep

    Ive seen Sikhs in turbans instead of hard hats on building sites. Maybe they should let them wear turbans instead of headguards.

    you're not a real man unless you have a beard so I don't blame these folks for fighting it.
