What it is
Light to medium contact, because a fighter with a card booked cannot afford to be hurt in the gym.
The long version
The English article is clear that sparring is "often a light to medium contact exercise" for exactly that reason, and that specific things get trained in it — close range, clinch and knees only, cutting off the ring, keeping an aggressor at distance.
Inference — a gym where the sparring is hard every day is a gym that is not preparing anyone for anything.
