How to get a boxing career started?

Question

Since i was a small kid i've been wanting to become a boxer. Now im 16 and i want to go through with it. The only thing is that i have no experience and do not know how to get started. Can someone give me any advice?

(If it helps i live in Cicero, IL which is right outside of Chicago)

Answer 1

Start with a boxing gym.  There are plenty where you are.  Once you get a boxing gym, have your coach/ trainer get you involved in the golden gloves program.

Remember that your trainer has been around the sport longer than you have been alive in all likelihood, so pay attention the to what he says.

I hate to say this, but boxing/mma gyms are better funded than boxing gyms and you might want to start there.

Good luck!

Answer 2

first you simply need to get to a boxing gym and start working with a trainer
