Question
how do you get started to box.What do you do and go.

Answer
Hi Bryson,

Thanks for the question.

To get started in amateur boxing, you'll need to register with USA Boxing, and get connected with a local registered boxing gym.
To find out where registered amateur boxing gyms are in your area, go to www.usaboxing.org and click on the membership link. Find your geographical area, then contact the person listed. That person should be able to tell you about boxing gyms in your area, or put you in touch with someone who can.

Let me know if you need any further assistance after you've taken those steps.

I hope this is helpful, Bryson.
Thanks again for writing.

Regards,

Lian
