![]() If he has, the success and achievements of that boxer can be a good reference point for you and your decision you’ll certainly want someone who’s experience, but also someone who’s achieved something in his career. The first question relates to his personal experience and whether he is training (or has trained) an amateur boxer (before). What you should watch out when picking a coach is three things – does he have experience in training amateur boxers, is he a diligent worker and is he focused? After evaluating what you want, they will probably offer you the best thing they have so you’ll have some help in that aspect. Most gyms do, actually, they have private instructors under contract, so we suggest you talk to the manager or someone in the gym about your goals and wishes. Taking into account what we’ve said about picking your gym, you’ll want to find one that “offers” private coaches and instructors. Find a coachĪfter you pick your gym, you’ll need to find a coach. Boxing is perfected through sparring, through simulating a real fight and you will need to have a good and experienced sparring partner to do that, so by picking a gym where there’s no potential sparring partners, you will not do yourself any good. Why? Simply because you will not get a quality sparring partner. The second thing you have to avoid is a gym where the only experienced boxers are the coaches and the instructors. ![]() Still, if you have good instructors, you can learn from such classes too, but mostly in addition to individual sessions so, don’t necessarily rule out all gyms that offer such classes, but rather check the programmes they offer before enrolling. Structured boxing classes aren’t bad, there’s really nothing wrong with them, but they are not made for a competitive fighter and you will have a lot of trouble if you want to become one by using them. Such classes are great for fitness crowds and hobbyists, but they will not benefit your boxing evolution in any way. There are also some things you’ll have avoid, the first of them being structured boxing classes. You’ll also end up sharing the mat with ground fighters such as BJJ or wrestling trainees, which is not beneficial for your boxing evolution. If you are interested in becoming a well-rounded martial artist there are gyms for that, but MMA gyms do not usually have the necessary quality of instruction, or the quantity of sparring partners necessary to mould a successful amateur boxer This means no martial arts gym that “also” teaches boxing should be your choice. The reasons are obvious – a specialised boxing gym will provide you the best possible preparation for a boxing career as it should contain experienced experts and instructors, but also fellow trainees who can provide a good sparring partner for you. Generalised and multi-sports gyms are fine for recreationalists, but you’ll want to find a boxing-centred gym if you want to be a boxer. The first step you have to take is to find an actual boxing gym. Sure, if you want to be a recreational boxer, any gym that has a boxing programme will do, but if you really want to devote yourself to the sport, you’ll have to find a good gym. When choosing a gym, you have to be very careful to pick the right one, because not all gyms will offer you what you need to start a boxing career. Find a gymįinding a gym is the necessary prerequisite since all boxing careers start in the gym. We’ll walk you through the process step by step so you can see what and when you need to do. Before becoming a professional boxer, you’ll need to become an amateur boxer so we’ll see the steps necessary to become an amateur before we deal with the steps needed for the pro level. Now that we’ve told you what professional boxing is, let us see the general steps you need to take before becoming a professional boxer. Professional boxing has enjoyed a much higher profile than amateur boxing throughout the 20 th century and beyond. Protective headgear is not permitted, and boxers are generally allowed to take substantial punishment before a fight is halted. In contrast with amateur boxing, professional bouts are typically much longer and can last up to twelve rounds, though less significant fights can be as short as four rounds. ![]() Most high-profile bouts obtain the endorsement of a sanctioning body, which awards championship belts, establishes rules, and assigns its own judges and referee. Most professional bouts are supervised by a regulatory authority to guarantee the fighters’ safety. Professional boxing bouts are fought for a purse that is divided between the boxers as determined by the contract. Professional boxing, or prize-fighting, is strictly regulated, sanctioned boxing. ![]()
