How could I become a Professional Boxer?

Question

I'm very into Martial Arts and want to do a variety of them, especially Boxing. I was wondering how could I get involved in matches and eventually go pro? Would 18 be a little late starting out? I have know idea where to start first.

Answer 1

go to a gym, train hard, start amateur, do extremely well fighting amateur, and then maybe you could go pro. you walk into a gym and start shooting off at the mouth about jumping into a professional career and they will laugh at you. just go and learn first

Answer 2

I suppose you would show up at a gym-- but that's just a guess (...)

Na, but seriously i'm not sure if they'd have you pay monthly membership fees like everyone else and buy all your equipment and all that. I think that would depend on your talent and if you show promise--- nobody does anything for free, they'll train you only if you provide them benefit or can eventually make them more money.
