Question
hi i have been in the gym training to become a boxer mainly an ameture one hopefully soon can convert to a pro, but if i don't have my own maneger or agent persay a how can i go about boxing without one on my own. and do i need one to travel to all kinds of tournaments internationally.
I would hope that the gym you are training in is registered with USA Boxing and your coach takes you to sanctioned shows. You need experience at the amateur level before you decide to turn pro. I would talk to your coach about how to get licensed as a pro and if he thinks you're ready. You will need a matchmaker to get you fights and you should, and probably will, start out at the local pro level.
