Question
I really like to boxed and i want to become a pro boxer....can you please please please please please give me some tip of how to become a pro boxer....thank you so much

Answer
The best way to become a pro boxer is to spend the next 6 or so years learning to and competing in amateur boxing.  Your state probably doesn't license pro boxers until they are at least 18 years old.  I can email you a contact for your area who can refer you to a gym where you can train.  Please email me at mel@amateurboxing.com and tell me the city and state you live in.
