First thing you need to do is find a boxing gym. This site lists all the recognised training gyms in the US

Start as an amateur. You need to box as an amateur for at least 2 years before you consider turning professional. Your trainer should be able to advise you on this by that stage. Basicaly if you've won the majority of your amateur fights it might be worth your while turning pro.

Good luck.

Answer 2
