Question
I'm looking to get into as many Super Heavyweight Bouts as possible this year.
I'm willing to travel anywhere to get good matches. How do I find out where the
matches and tournaments are that are open to any Super Heavyweight to enter?
Thanks!

Answer
There are many local/regional tournaments where you would probably find competition.  Southern California has the Desert Showdown; Ringside has their annual tournament in Kansas City; there is the Ohio State Fair, Mayor's Cup in Washington, DC; Black Gloves in Texas.  I will have some of the information on www.amateurboxing.com; Desert Showdown should be on Title's site and Ringside will have all their tournament info.  Hope this helps.
