Answer
Hi Ace,
Thanks for the question.
You can do what you described in your question. You can box as an "unattached" amateur boxer, meaning you're not affiliated with any registered gym. You'll still need to be registered yourself, of course, and you'll need a registered, certified coach in your corner for all bouts sanctioned by USA Boxing.

I hope this helps, Ace.
Thanks again for writing, and Happy New Year :)

Regards,
Lian
