Question
i am 21 going on 22 and i have been thinking of being a pro boxer for five years now. since then i have been studying the history of boxing, legendary fighters,etc. and i have my own training gloves. the only problem is i cant afford a trainer at the moment so i am self training. i was wondered if u had any advice or tips on things i can do to improve my training even though i am a novice.

Gerald, you should get in a local boxing gym and have a couple amatuer boxing matches before you step into the pros. Just find a gym in your area and start. Try boxinggyms.com and see what is close to you. Join a gym and be a good student of your surroundings. Keep punching, Tony Spain 941.302.4181
