Matched bouts for master boxers shall be no more than how many years older.

• A. 8
• B. 10
• C. 9
• D. 11

Answer: (B)

The rule focuses on keeping matchups between Masters boxers within a safe and fair age range by limiting how far apart the ages of the two fighters can be. The older boxer may not be more than ten years older than the younger one. This ten-year cap helps balance experience and physical condition while reducing the risk of injury from large age gaps.

Smaller gaps like eight or nine years would still be allowed, but they don’t define the maximum allowed difference. A gap of eleven years would exceed the limit and isn’t permitted. Therefore, the maximum allowable age difference is ten years.
