corner man
Boxer's ringside helper
A corner man is someone who assists a boxer or mixed martial artist between rounds, providing water, treating cuts, offering tactical advice, and helping the fighter recover during brief rest periods.
The term comes from the fighter's corner of the ring where this support team operates.
Corner men may include trainers, cutmen who specialize in treating wounds, and coaches.
