Chad Milnes 'unconcerned' by no-headguard rule

New Zealand boxer Chad Milnes has claimed that he 'has not felt any major differences' when fighting without a headguard.

Headguards will not be used at the Commonwealth Games this summer for the first time in history, but the 22-year-old is unconcerned by the rule change.

"I haven't felt any major differences, but headbutts are a big thing without the headgear. In terms of how the punches feel, I don't feel much difference," he told reporters.

Milnes will find out his first opponent on Thursday.
