Question
Melanie
I am 36 years old and starting boxing about 6 months ago. What are the age requirements for me to fight in the state of Pennsylvania?
If you are going to compete as an amateur, you will need to register in the Masters Division (preceeded by a rigerous physical)with USA Boxing. Competition is limited to opponents who are not more than 10 years older than you and, of course, safe weight differences. If you wish more information, please email me at mel@amateurboxing.com, tell me the city and state you live in, and I'll also send you the Masters rules.
