Age shouldn't be a barrier to ability.
The day before a birthday is ok but a soon as the candle has been lit it's not

This is an outrageous age limit. There are younger fighters who are less experienced and more prone to injury. Plus it should be the individual's choice, if they get injured then it's their responsibility.

Let the person do what they want, if that individual is deemed unfit to fight by a doctor, then fair enough. Until then, let an individual decide for themself if they feel up to it or not.

Please change the rules to allow older people to be able to compete. Age should not be used to discriminate and sport should be open to all adults who are able to compete, regardless of age.

If the competitor is clearly capable, age shouldn’t be a factor.

I’ve been a professional swimmer and still do compete in races even I’m 41 years old. I think it is no fair to do not if someone is still well healthy and in good shape!!!!
