Answer
Hi Andy,
Thanks for the question.
Each state has its own requirements for licensing boxers, so you'll need to contact the New York State Athletic Commisssion directly.
Here's the contact information:

New York State Athletic Commission
123 Williams Street, 20th Floor
New York, NY 10038
Tel. (212) 417-5700
Fax. (212) 417-4987
E-mail: athletic@dos.state.ny.us
http://www.dos.state.ny.us/athletic/index.html

I hope this is helpful, Andy.
Thanks again for writing!
Regards,
Lian
