Question
Hi, I am 17 years old and I've had boxing in my family for about 3 generations. My dad has trained me since I was 14, but we live in Utah and we are not sure of where to begin with the amateur or anything. There's really nothing around here to get me started. Do you know how I could get some help starting a career?
Hi Emmanuel - please email me at mel@amateurboxing.com and I will give you a contact for amateur boxing in Utah. The contact will be able to refer you to a gym in your area and tell you how to get started in amateur boxing. Please let me know what city you live in (mention state, too, so I know it's you).
