How to become a boxer?

Question

I'm 5'8 150 pounds.. I want to box in the light heavy weight division. How do I go about doing this??

Answer 1

In your weight at least 10 or 15 pounds more. Also make all that weight muscle. Hit the speed bag It really helps also try signing up in a boxing club or gym.

Answer 2

train hard

Answer 3

that would be a very difficult thing to do as a light heavyweight is much heavier than you are and will be even much taller than you are. I myself am 5'7 and weigh 125 pounds. I not saying you need to lose weight but maybe you should fight at light welterweight or at welterweight. go to a boxing gym and ask the trainer for advice.

the most important key to boxing is joining a boxing gym. you cannot train well on your own.

Answer 4

I would suggest that you stick to welterweight or super welterweight (147-154). 5'8 is a bit to small for a light heavy weight which is 175.
