Your prolbably screwed bro.

Your not old enough to get a license yourslef, a guardian needs to sign it.

On the license it says **** like, I understand that boxing may result in death or permanent damage and agree to blah blah blah.

Dont sound like your parents would sign it after reading that.

you dont strike me as a fighter, but i dunno. Yiu should find a way to give it a try.

yea, i have that paper and my parents have read it. thats why they dont want me to do it even more now. they'll let me train, so ill be training till im 18 and thats when i can sign it and everything and start fighting.

I already looked up a list of 17 year olds from all over england. I searched featherweight to heavyweight in the 17 year old range.

there was no 31-0 record you ***in liar. Why wouldnt you give your name over the internet? If your record is like that your obviously something special and your names all over england right? But your a liar. If your going to make up a record at least make it believable. Im done arguing with some fictional amateur boxer, peace out pendejo.

Go to the gym in secret. Train hard. Arrange a fight. The week before the fight tell your parents you have something to tell them. Tell them to sit down. Make a big deal baout it. Then tell them that you're gay. Then when they go nuts say "No, I'm just kidding, I'm not gay. But will you sign my boxing license?"

[ICEMAN JOHN SCULLY]

Man, listen. 31-0 as an AMATEUR? That's where people screw up. Say you are 31-4, something like that if you want to impress someone. Don't go ovebroard and make up pro like records because everybody knows the deal there. In amateurs EVERYBODY loses. You can be 45-15 and still be a TOP amateur

im about middle / wealthy class. i do agree about their comment being igorant, but my mom always looks down on boxers and think their nothing and wont do much in life. she has absoluetly no respect for ali and think that he doesnt do anything in life and fighting is all he knows. she says stuff about him when she doesnt know what he does outside of boxing and how he has inspired a lot of people. in the meantime if my parents dont let me fight, ill be training till im 18, then ill start there.

That's cool. I know there are people out there that think that anybody who fights for a living is dumb or worthless. At least you don't. If anything tell your mom how much time, dedication, and hard work goes into fighting. I don't know if that will work though, it seems your mom is pretty set in your ways.
