Question
I am going to be fighting as and unattached fighter and I was wondering if the certified trainer I contact has to be with me when I train or only in my corner when i compete?


Answer
Hi Matt,
Thanks for the question.
If you're referring to amateur boxing, you'll need a registered, certified coach in your corner for all competitions. There's really no actual monitoring of training, though obviously it would be beneficial if you were training with the same registered coach.
I hope this helps, Matt.
Thanks again for writing!

Regards,
Lian
