Update on all Amateur Combative Sports weigh-ins

The North Carolina Boxing and Combat Sports Commission held its quarterly meeting on March 6 and voted to change all Amateur Combative Sports weigh-ins from same day to the day before. However, this change has to go through the Rules Review Commission before being implemented. We will keep you updated on the process and when it becomes official. We appreciate your patience during this rule change.
