Intended Use
Who This Is For
The Everlast Amateur Competition With Cheek is built specifically for sanctioned amateur bouts under USA Boxing rules. Construction uses an engineered synthetic outer shell with reinforced cheek protection in the high-impact zones. The padding system is tuned for the protection-versus-visibility balance amateur judges and referees expect to see in the ring. The two color options (Red and Blue) match the corner color requirement for amateur competition, so a fighter or gym typically buys both to be ready for either corner assignment. At $109 with USA Boxing approval, this is one of the most accessible sanctioned competition pieces on the market, sitting well below the $199 Cleto Reyes Cheek Protector while delivering the certification that matters most for amateur fighters.
Who It's Not For
- Casual training (use the Elite 2 or Core instead)
- Buyers wanting premium leather construction
- Fighters needing chin coverage
