What was up with Yarde's waist padding?

[RetroSpeed05]

I didn't notice it live but watching highlights of the fight i noticed his padding was high, almost covering his whole lower body. There were many shots Beterbiev landed on the padding instead what should have been a clean body shot. Home town cooking at its best.

Yeah, trunks are often allowed to be worn too high. There should be a rule (if it doesn't exist already) to have your navel visible.

Tyson Fury also wears them way high. With his disgusting body, he looks like a Florida retiree

There is a rule. It isn't enforced. Ref mentions it at the touch-up, never addressed after that.

Lennox Lewis used to wear his trunks under his armpits.

It’s supposed to be at naval and I’ve seen refs actually tell the corner that it would need to be lowered
Not in the UK I guess

They looked too big for his size.
