when are you considered a boxer??

[Golden Boi 360]

I agree with the school thing Larry said. I got into boxing in High School. A Spanish teacher with about 25 amateur fights and 2 pro fights set up a program. Boys and girls go and work out and we set up fights after a couple of months.

When u start officially boxing as a amateur, had 13 bouts so far. top 8 in england at weight and age, looking to become national champ next year!

When you get your first fight. That is when your an official boxer.


You get that license and you start a career. Your an official boxer.

I have fought 3 amateur fights, 3 rounds of 1 minute, and still wouldn't consider myself a boxer.
1st fight we used 18oz gloves.
2nd fight we used 16oz gloves.
3rd fight we used 12oz gloves.

I'm training this summer hard so I can hopefully fight at Chicago Golden Gloves as a novice.

you my friend are a boxer...

im molding both of my kids..my 3 year old just hangs around the gym and watches his brother..but they let him hit the heavybag if he wants..i want them to see it as a lifestyle..not forcing them cause they seem to love it so much

i wouldnt either, a minute a round in england is a exhibition. 18/16s are unheard of

people rip open england pros and i agree they are not that good but amateur level they maybe the very best along with russia, kazinkstan, cuba

1-when you start training

2-when you start living the lifestyle


3-after your first day of sparring??

4-after your first fight??

LETS TALK BOXING FELLAS

Definately after your 1st fight.

Train all you want...until you hit the ring for your 1st fight...your just "training to be a boxer"

Who cares about living the lifestyle of a boxer....whether its in a 1 room hut or a 10 bedroom mansion....boxers should live/eat/breathe the gym.

Sparring is just that...sparring.

Good luck to you and your son! For real for real!

After your first fight imo, after you've stepped in the ring with an opponent who is really trying to beat you and you him.
