Answer Hi Hassan - I don't have the same resources that USA Boxing will have in finding a coach willing to train you in the U.S. You would have to arrange permission to come to the U.S. You will probably have to pay your own expenses to the U.S. Once you arrive here, arrangements would need to be made regarding how you would live and take care of yourself. You might also want to contact the Canadian Amateur Boxing Assn. and see if there is a possibility there. Good luck.
