Question
I've been boxing for over seven years now, and have not had no amateur fights on file. But I have a over a hundred fights in the ring, also I training everyday. I'm in the gym six days a week. I just don't no how to get in touch with people like yourself. I believe I'm in the wrong city. (Savannah Ga,) Help me tell me who can I contact. Can you e-mail names and numbers? Thanks, I promise I want be a waste of time.

Answer
Thomas,

Every gym is different so I couldn't be specific about what they do in your area. I recommend contacting one of these gyms in your area. Asked them if they are affiliated with golden gloves. If so, ask about any charges and what you need to do to register as an amateur. You'll be assigned a trainer and could get your first match as soon as your coach sees your ready.
