...in the gym before your first fight?


I've been noticing a lot of threads asking how long it would be until a first fight and that made me wonder, how long was it that you spent training until you got your first fight?

2 months, lost by ud

6months but i went monday-sat trained 3 hours, it counts on your trainer(s) if they think your ready then they will set you up.

i been at my gym for about 8 months, and i still don't feel ready. my trainer asked me if i wanted to compete, i told him when i'm ready. I train in his amateur routine but also practice the very basics of boxing in his basics class. to me the basics seem to be the most important.

i wanna spar a lil while longer then maybe in 6 months go for the amateurs

i still havent fought yet and ive been training a little over 2 months now. im just starting to work with my trainer(s) using handpads and some defensive stuff. id say at 4-6 weeks till first open spar.

Ive got my medical on sunday and if i pass it im fighting whenever! Ive been boxing for 7 months but i think i could of been fighting last season if i started like a moth earlier.

after two days in my gym, got offered a fight in 1 month and 1/2, but thats way to soon.

and result?

I trained for about 5 months. It depends on how quick you learn tha basic stuff. I recommend you to focus on that, and keep doing road work. The stamina gives you a great advantage at the amateurs ranks coz some of them get tired even in 2 rds.
