So basically, i have been boxing awhile now and not being cocky but im whoopin fools left, right and center day in and day out and aint nobody ive come across give me any kinda of trouble.. ive sparred pros and handled them with ease.. so why the hell cant nobody get me a fight? or is it just the way boxing is?? if im willing to fight then i should be able to fight.. what the hell. someone please explain?
i aint sayin what club im at cause to be honest i dont even want to be on here talkin about this.. but you seem like you know what your talkin about so answer me this. how many fights can you get per season? its just september is so far away and i got alot to do. im welterwieght by the way
TBH... I'm not sure how many fights you can have per season - I ought to know really. I think you should expect your coach to get you at least 3 per season (but I would say 5-8 is about average).
Things is though, your coach probably knows what he his doing, and I suspect he doesn't think you are ready. You may think you are good and you may do well, but your coach has his reputation to think about, and if your skills are not upto his standards, he may think it best to wait so it doesn't look like he's a **** coach. You may be very strong and extremely tough, and he may think you have a good chance of winning, but he will look like a pudding if you go in there without a good grasp of the fundamentals.
Another thing too, I have had lads asking me to get them fights after just a couple of weeks/months of training. They have generally done a few rounds with an experienced lad who has took it very easy on them (or with another beginner that they can beat), and they gain confidence, not realising the other lad was giving them a chance - but I know it wouldn't last a round if the experienced tried his best.
Trust your coach, he's probably had hundreds of lads through the gym door, and he will have a good idea when you are ready. Remember, one of the aims of most coaches is to produce boxers to compete. They want you to box, that why they are training you.
Have you had a medical yet?
How old are you?
Good luck pal.

Not counting Tournies, you can get upto 18 fights a season, which by the way
and before any of you say anything like september is like 2 weeks away.. remember ive been patiently waiting a long time. and everyday seems like a month
Ended around mid July, you couldn't have been waiting that long unless they wanted to get you started fresh on the new one and you've only been boxing a year or so.

I have a feeling you looted a gym membership during the riots last week and just started coming to a Boxing Gym.
You should know better. This is a troll thread or TS is a 12 year old kid who just signed up.

i got no fights man thats why am asking what the hells up.. and man if your for real id be there in a flash cause **** is getting ridiculous.. i live in the u.k though
Where in the UK are you from?
What club are you at?
Let me know your age and weight, if we have anyone at our gym suitable, I can match you with them (as soon as the season starts, of course).
You've sparred pros but you don't know how to get a fight ?.
There's people at your gym (or at least should be) signed up with the ABA to get you fights, it takes a while to get one but season starts soon (September) so they should be getting it sorted.
But you haven't had any fights and your sparring pros and 'handling' them, I smell garbage.
are you serious man??they have golden gloves in the u.k

No we don't, that's a gym called Golden Gloves, we have regionals and whatnot though obviously.
Sadly this kid probably is for real. You see it all the time in the amateurs, sometimes these kids really do have talent too, that's the saddest part! You get to rd 2 in some tournament, you look at the bout sheet to read up on which gym your opponent is from, and it says 'unattached'. You think to yourself, 'how the crap did this dude not bother getting a trainer and sticking with a gym before signing up for this?', and next thing you know the dude is missing 2 teeth and all his friends and family came out to see him get batted from one post to the other until the ref calls it off. You can usually tell when they're warming in the back with a wifebeater and basketball shoes...
the issue is everyone keeps taking such a big interest in me and then when i asked to fight there always making up excuses or sayin im gunna fight then it never happens
pretty sure its the ABAE over here
sign up man,just sign up
