combat sports in Quebec, Celeste Baillargeon is allowed to train in the gym on her own, but any fighting or sparring with an opponent has been off-limits since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic.“It’s a big impact,” said Baillargeon, who is a provincial boxing champion. “We have to spar to practice our boxing, so I can do fitness and conditioning stuff, but I can’t improve my boxing skills.”With most team sports in the province already given the green light to resume, athletes who practice combat sports, like boxing, judo and wrestling, are fighting to be allowed to practice with contact again.“There are like 20 players on a hockey team — twenty players times two — that’s 40 guys or girls, playing on the same field, or on the same rink,”.
