Boxing/masters division

Question
I am 40 y.o. and have always wanted to box, I realize I am not going to be the heavyweight champion of the world, but would love to train and compete in tournaments in my tri-state area. Are there other people out there in the masters division who are willing to fight? thank you
There isn't much depth in the Masters Division - too much disparity between ages. Are you already registered with USA Boxing as a Masters athlete? What area do you live in? You might also want to join the Masters email Yahoo group. You can connect with other Master boxers there.
