As we progress in life while still training and loving the sport we have chosen for most of us a life time. Surely if we are still of sound mind and healthy Why can a sport be ageist Against any one who wishes to still compete. Unless medically proved un healthy to do so by professional medics ? Athletes are not stopped competing from running, football, and rugby Etc .

Considering the constant progress in the development of human life on all its levels, special attention should be paid to the fact that continuous development of the world, globalisation as well as comprehensive access to information, affects the change of many aspects of life such as mental, physical and social. Self-awareness and the ubiquitous cult of a healthy lifestyle shapes the mentality of the individual, allowing better quality in everyday life. This undoubtedly has an impact on changing demographic conditions. It is therefore justified to demonstrate flexibility reflecting these developments also in the field of sport, as the current age and quality limits allow extended physical activity to people aged 45-70, compared to previous decades. The widening of these limits on a daily basis can be seen in the socio-economic fields, and in often-cited pension policies. Sport undoubtedly allows you to cultivate traditions, but also shapes people by giving them a new, deeper dimension - as a valuable individual in the world. That is why, in my opinion, it is necessary to look again at the current regulations, forced retirement among qualified competitors and shape them again in the current realities while also respecting longstanding traditions.

I'm 43 and took up sport 3 years ago, so too old, so what available for me ? unlicensed white collar ? no thanks to that, I think it's wrong 40 is upper age limit,if your fit and pass medical why can't you carry on

As a female boxing lover myself and not far off 40,I find it devastating to take away a sport and passion from someone because of their age! If the person can pass a medical then surely it should be up to the individual to continue in the sport.

Fully supportive of this as I’ve seen to many good boxers be forced to hang up the gloves just because of a number... AIBA sort it out and scrap the age limit it’s a joke.

Stopping boxers from competing or sparring at 40 leads many towards unlicensed 'white collar' boxing, which exposes them to far greater risk of injury through mismatching and unregulated organisation. Many of us over 40's have much to give the sport, yet are denied the opportunity.
