Question
I'm 21 years old, I used to train with amateur fighters but I never registered
How do I go about registering and being able to compete in actual tournaments?

Answer
You will need to register with USA Boxing in your area and have a registered and certified USA Boxing coach work your corner when you compete.  Please email me at mel@amateurboxing.com, tell me the city and state you live in, and I will send you a contact.
