Question
Everything is downhill for me right now and my dream is to become a proffessional female boxer, i dont have any money and i dont have a job. In situations like mines, how is it possible to get started? do i have to pay for a trainer? what kind of fees would come about? would a sponsor be able to help me?

Answer
If you have very limited funds then I would seek gyms that may accept scholarships.  Also obtain training tips from books and videos.  Yes you need a trainer and yes you need some equipment but it is not as expensive as you might think.

Thanks,

Joe
