Question
I am 24 years old and I've only fought in 4 bouts and they were only 3, 1 minute rounds. Would it be hard for me to get a profesional boxing license in the state of Idaho? I won all 4 bouts by the way and 1 by knockout, but they where only smokers.

Answer
There is not a requirement of rounds or amateur fights that make a pro but based on what you are saying you do lack experience.  I would suggest joining USA Boxing and getting some solid amateur experience and then at the coaches advice, turn pro.

Thanks,

Joe
