Question
Hello I have a friend that trains with me at the local gym he is really good and wants to start fighting amatuer fights but he is an immigrant can he still register with usa boxing

Answer
Yes, as long as he has a birth certificate, passport or green card, he can register.  He just won't be able to compete in advancing tournaments since he is a non-citizen.  For a contact in your area, please email me at mel@amateurboxing.com and tell me the city and state you live in.
