how do you become an amateur boxer? do you have to be part of a gym to be an amateur boxer or do you have to have a trainer? i was planning to train for 5 months until golden gloves in january but idk where to start. i've been to the local PAL for the past two days but i dont get much attention in there and i have had one private lesson, but it's too costly. one hour for 50 bones. any help?"
