Question
Hi,

I was wondering if you could help me. Could you tell me what I need to do to schedule fights as an amateur boxer? Also, can you tell me what I need to do to enter boxing tournaments in my city/state?

I live in Los Angeles, California.

Thank you for your time. どうもありがとうございます。

Answer
First of all, you must be registered with USA Boxing and have a registered and certified coach work your corner.  There is a list of scheduled shows in Southern California at:
