Question
I am 15,an amateur boxer and eager to compete. i live in southern California. Where can i find open tournaments that i can compete in??

Answer
Hi Alex,
Thanks for the question.
You should be getting information through your USA Boxing Local Boxing Committee (LBC) about upcoming events. If not, let me know where in southern CA you live, and I can get you the contact information you need.
Also "open tournament" has a specific meaning in amateur boxing, and at age 15, you cannot be an open boxer. But I'm pretty sure you meant an "all-comers" type of tournament.
I hope this helps, Alex.
Thanks again for writing!

Regards,
Lian
