Question
How many Amateur Fights do I need to have to become pro?
I have no Amateur Fights
There is not a set number of amateur fights that you must have and in fact I know of some that never had an amateur fight before turning pro. I do not recommend this, as having some amateur fights is good. It is important to perform in front of a crowd in real competition. Fight at the amateur level till you feel comfortable and as always seek the advice of your trainer.
Thanks,
Joe
