How many days a week do Amateur boxers train in the boxing gym ?

If you really want it than it can be done, and it was.
I remember as a pro when my trainer took me to 'the hill' and worked my legs. I had just started bartending at a Muir restaurant, a job that Jackie set up for me (what a great lady). After I worked the hill I slept for a bit until it was time to train. I got up and my legs hurt so bad but I still got to the gym, put my work in (sparring with Bronco and Tarrick and floor work), showered and left for the job.
I worked until about 3am and I hurt every minute of it.
Then I got home, went to bed and woke up still crazzzy sore and did it all again. The fights seemed to be the only time that I wasn't agonizing. Ofcourse though, my body soon got used to it and worked through with strength. Knowing that you are in prime shape is a huge boost for your mind and skills. ........................Rockin'

That's the one, and even the thing in your head that you might be humiliated in front of a people wakes you up before the alarm haha

That's not enough IMO.

Nope, not at all.

The feeling of sacrifice and discipline... not in the moment.. but after you get your hand raised in the ring.. hits you significantly. You think about all the work you put it, all the lonely runs, all the time in your own mind...

It is worth it all.

I feel sorry for people who aren't able to experience it, and if everyone could... the world would be much different.

How many sanctioned bouts have you had. Sleep/rest was something that was a luxury that I never had time for when I was young. I believe that it had something to do with me having a stroke many years later. Proper sleep/rest is not only good but essential.......Rockin'

Sorry to hear you gou got the stroke mate .
Never able to overcome my sleeping problem it's most important thing for a functioning.
I never had a fight i suppose to fight i didnt found an opponent and a fight at this covid19 times.

Do boxing four days per week, do physical strength, speed and flexibility training two days per week and take at least one full day off per week. Pay attention to your diet and your sleep. Get your cardiovascular/respiratory work as part of your training.
