You will need to register with USA Boxing in your area (birth certificate, two head-shot pictures and pay a yearly fee) and will also need a USA Boxing registered and certified coach to work your corner. Please email me at mel@amateurboxing.com, tell me the city and state you live in, and I'll send you a contact.
