• B. 18 Years Of Age Or Older And Hold A Current Coach Certification
• C. 18 Years Of Age Or Older And Hold A Current Medical Certification
• D. 16 Years Of Age Or Older And Hold A Current Coach Certification

Answer: (B)

The key idea is that someone in the boxer's corner must be a responsible, trained support person. To act as a second, you need to be at least 18 years old and have a current coach certification. This combination ensures you’re legally an adult and you possess formal coaching knowledge to assist during the bout, follow safety protocols, and communicate effectively with officials and the boxer. The other options raise the age beyond what’s required, reduce the age too far, or demand a medical certificate, which isn’t the standard credential for a corner staff member.
