Thursday Morning Riddle

I am worn by the man who will crouch by the plate;
I’m a target for sparring, regardless of weight;
I’ve removed from the oven the hot things you ate;
And I hope to become this land’s next head of state.

Who am I?

UPDATE: Riddle solved by Asher. See comments for answer.

    This is not an endorsement. I just wanted to get it in while he was still topical.
