well 2 and a half months of training probably isnt enough, i had my first fight 6 months after i first started but 8-10 months is probably best but it all depends on your progress

well when i had been going about 6 months, i really started to question myself on wen i was going to get my first fight,

i felt i was ready and didnt see anything wrong,

now ive been going almost 2 years and im alomst ready for my first fight, looking back im so glad i waited because ive improved so much since then and i want to keep my record as good as possible,

then longer you train the more advantge your gona have wen u start off fighting oters who havent waited,

still in america ive heard its diffrent and u fight afte rlike 1 month or 2 mothns so its up tou

Advice: don't start out too ****y on these forums. These posters will be quick to bash you, regardless of how many street fights you've had (because street fights don't mean nothing when it comes to boxing). Good luck with your training.

ive been training for 3 months and don't intend to fight for another 5 upon the advice of my trainer. our gym has a lot of golden glove medalists in different divisions and a 99% success rate in first fights based on taking our time to develop skills before competing. my advice: keep training another couple of months and spar, spar, spar. Spar friends, guys better, guys who are worse, guys from other gyms (with lighter gloves like 16 oz or 14 oz if they are game). if you're a ko puncher, work on your stamina and box game. you won't be able to ko everybody. if thats your gameplan, youll run into a wall at some point.

what part of philly you from? I grew up in Cheltenham but live in NYC now...
