Nope
Unless you are the next superstar imo
Fighters have it hard and most of the time they are obliged to travel
In the end , it depends on what you want

The National tournaments that get you ranked and into the USABoxing team are held in different parts of the nation.
USABoxing holds a National tournament for the East , West , Central regions then one they call a National.

In other words. If you wanna get noticed in the Amateurs and get the backing when you're transitioning to the Pros. You're gonna have to travel.

You are expected to travel all the time.

It's a big reason (but not the only) I am not / was not more active as an amateur. I was expected to travel across the state for every other fight. All out of pocket.

That's why I laugh at people who disrespect athletes and dont even understand the journey and sacrifice
