Rules There are major differences between the objectives and safety rules for amateur boxing versus professional boxing. Several Australian states and territories have legislation and regulations generally governing professional and amateur boxing within their jurisdiction. In one state (New South Wales), women are not permitted by law to compete in amateur boxing. The specifics of rules and safety procedures, etc, for amateur boxing are set out by amateur boxing organisations and generally reflect the rules of the International Amateur Boxing Association (AIBA); however, there are some differences in amateur rules between countries, and between boxing organisations in any given country, in relation to such matters as Juniors and Masters.
