Question
Hello my name is rob, I am 14 and I live in england, I have been training in boxing for about 4 months. When should I be getting my license? and Is it too late too consider going pro?
Hi Rob - First of all, I hope you're training in a gym with a coach? If not, you should find one in your area. Your best best for answers would be to post your questions at www.warriorboxing.com - THE best forum in the U.K. There is an amateur boxing forum you can sign up for free. I don't know what the rules are in England, but I doubt seriously that you can turn pro at 14.
