Pro license medical

[J.mac]

Hey everyone,

I want to become a professional boxer in a few years, I'm 17 and I'm in an amateur boxing club. What kind of things do they do during the medical to get your professional license? the only medical problem I got a is a mild lower back scoliosis. Had a medical check up before and decided to get it xrayed because I was anxious it would affect my boxing license, the doctor said it is nothing bad just a mild scoliosis and it does not need treatment and it that there is nothing wrong with my spine, just a bit curved in the lumbar region. Will this stop me from getting my pro license in the future? or do they focus more on stuff like the brain or heart/lungs. I live in the UK by the way.

Thank you everyone.

As for UK rules I have no idea, I live in the USA and here the rules are different from state to state!

How is your amateur career at the moment? I strongly recommend to get a decent amateur career first before jumping in the pro's.

Thanks everyone, so with the eyes tests if i wear contact lenses can will that affect me? (-2.25 on each eye) I seen some boxers with glasses e.g maidana

With eye tests it really depends. Some boxers are allowed to wear contacts. I'm slightly short sighted but only for long distances so I can see everything in the ring. I don't really know how they do the medical
