"Underground boxing" is illegal per USA Boxing's rules. If you want to participate in sanctioned shows and tournaments in Georgia, you will need to be registered with USA Boxing and must have a registered and certified coach in your corner. Please email me at mel@amateurboxing.com, remind me what state you live in, and I'll send you a contact.
