Question
I am16 and I want to start boxing but in competions. Where should I start?
I don't know of any good coach, who cares about boxers, who would put a newcomer in competition before at least 8 months of training. If you are interested in training correctly and need to find a gym and coach in your area, you can email me at mel@amateurboxing.com. Please tell me the city and state you live in and I'll send you a contact
