The International Boxing Association are piloting it this year because apparently there is a reduced risk of concussion WITHOUT the headgear.
Females and junior boxers will still be required to wear it though.
Good question.

thanks for that, can't see where they get the idea it will reduce concussion though. just hope it doesn't cause anyone severe injury whilst they are trialling the idea . thanks again.
