Question
Here are some of my friends who are amature boxers. They have won many titles in Pakistan. We are in Pakistan at the moment. Now its time to get international. They are four brothers and have won many major titles in Pakistan. How could they enter international tournaments of amature boxing and then turning to Pro ??

Answer
Hi Umer - In order to participate in international competition, you will need to go through your country's amateur boxing association.  Usually a boxer either gets selected to be on a country's team or had to qualify through his country's advancing tournaments. You will need AIBA passbooks, and insurance, and a coach, in order to travel.
