Boxing Insurance

[Youngblood]

sorry, Canada here with the free health care.

I can't see gyms covering injuries like that though no matter where they are. It is just so common I would imagine the rates would be through the roof for that sort of insurance.

You may want to have a word with your coach if you are feeling like a punching bag and ask to be matched up a little better to start out, or put in with someone even more experienced who will have more control and help you get comfortable with sparring.

the guy should have control, probably why they paired you with him, if you're a punchbag then the coach ain't doing his job OR you have been unlucky to get tagged OR they guy thought you were taking liberties and decided to give you a clip up the ear (or nose).

A: Your coach should know better than to put new guys in with someone who can't control themselves.

B: Are you a registered athlete with USA Boxing? (I assume you are in the US). If you are registered (and you are supposed to be if you are training, no matter what), then any injury that occurs in the gym, with a registered coach present, is covered by USAB's insurance.
