You have to be a U.S. citizen (if you live in America), at least 17 years old and no more than 34. You should have, at least, 9 years of boxing experience, including national and international experience. You must first compete to win a spot on your country's team. Once you have won your spot for your country, you must then qualify through a continental tournament.
