Question
I am a 28 year female who fight south paw. I have never had a match. I want to know how can I compete and get a sponsor?
You will need to get registered with USA Boxing and have a certified coach work your corner. Best thing to do regarding a sponsor is to ask around your local area and see if you can get a business interested in helping you. Please email me at mel@amateurboxing.com and I'll give you a contact in your area. Be sure to tell me what city and state you live in.
