Only professional officials get paid, not amateur. You need to start by contacting the pro boxing regulating body in your state and see what their requirements are. If they tell you that you need amateur boxing training (all volunteer), you can email me at mel@amateurboxing.com, tell me the city and state you live in and I'll send you a contact.
