The Florida State Boxing Commission hereby gives notice of the issuance of an Order regarding the Petition for Variance or Waiver, filed on July 30, 2017, by Michael Gattuso. The Notice of Petition for Variance or Waiver was published August 2, 2017 in Vol. 43, No. 149 of the, Florida Administrative Register. The Petitioner sought a variance or waiver of Rule 61K1-4.022, F.A.C. The Petitioner requested a modification or variance of the rule so that amateur fighters eighteen years and older can choose not to wear headgear and those who have completed in 3 or more fights can have the option of agreeing to participate in matches where both fight without headgear. The Board considered the instant Petition at a duly-noticed public meeting held on August 18, 2017 by telephone conference call.

The Board’s Order, filed on September 15, 2017 states that the Petitioner has not demonstrated that it meets the requirements of Section 120.542(2), F.S. and denies the variance requested.
