I am just wondering what you guys know about it especially in the UK.What does it take to pick up a pay check,have you got to be on a different level or can you buy a pro boxing licence in the UK. Have you got to have a decent amatuer career or would you say it's like a different sport amatuer to pros.What about hand size , would you say you've GOT to have big hands or can you just build on them.Also what kind of money does the average journey man make roughly a guy who would probably be win half lose half . Just wondering man .Any help and info would be great thanks
Boxers usually find promoters through contacts at the gym. Most good gyms and trainers are connected with local promoters and boxing organisations.
Your best bet if your new to boxing is to find a good, reputable gym, get some amateur experience, and go from there. Most pro boxers have usually won a local, regional, or national title somewhere down the line. Even guys with 4-10 records usually have won such titles.
Find a gym. Train hard. Enter local, and regional boxing competitions. And if you are any good, you will more than likely get picked up by a promoter.
Just remember that for most boxers their first fight is also their last fight.
