-----Answer-----
Where and for who have you been boxing for 5 years?

Answer
You can register at any local show.  Go to www.amateurboxing.com, click on the "Events" button on the left side, scroll to the "Southern California Assn." link and find a show that is convenient for you.  You will need 2 passport-type pictures and your birth certificate.  If you register before 12/31/06, the cost is $20 but your membership will have to be renewed 1/1/07 or after at the regular calendar year amount of $40.00.
