Question
Hi. I am 15 years old and interested in starting boxing. I want to take it to stay in shape and im serious about continuing with it. Would you be able to tell me the average cost of starting boxing, what i would be doing when i first join and other important info about the sport. Thank you!
Each area in the U.S. charges a differe4nt fee; some don't charge at all. For the first 8 months you would be learning the basics only, with some sparring. Please email me at mel@amateurboxing, let me know the city and state you live in, and I'll send you a contact for your area,
