They are always on the look out for someone to hold the "spit bucket" between rounds. Not sure if it pays good though.

If you are serious about the sport, you should join a boxing gym. There are several there. If not, then might even see if they will let you post a flyer that says you are looking for someone to spar with.

Why do you keep asking the same question? I don't box. I just spar with my husband sometimes. It's great exercise and it helps me appreciate actual boxers more because it takes so much skill and dedication. Hit you up for some cash? Sure, give me twenty bucks.

You have to answer that for yourself.  Without knowing you or your skills and attributes no-one can make a reccomendation that will suit you.  Ask yourself why you want to box?  Are you looking for competition, exercise, self defense?  If you have the opportunity, try all of them and see what you enjoy the most.  Good Luck.

Spar 30 rounds with Manny Pacquiao.\n\nIf you survive, call Bob Arum or Oscar Dela Hoya and ask for a contract sheet.

I agree with you completely. There are two things you can do. The first is to use the "Tell us what you think" link at the bottom of the page to send your suggestion. The second is to ask boxing questions to create more activity. I already sent my suggestion, and they've said they're considering adding it.

As a former fighter myself, I should tell you that your fiance better be good or he will pay they price.  The only way to find such an event is by word of mouth, usually bars and other "manly" places.\nYou may even have to bribe some people.\nGood luck,

since you have no coordination, start with intermerals or intermediate sport teams. gain some extra skills and tips and when you feel confident, maybe tryout for that particular sport when the time comes. workout alot, tone, train, and be in your prime.\n\nyou can do it!     *Rocky music plays in background*

It will not be easy. You will need devote your life to training. You will need to weight train,endurance train, and eat right. You will also need to line up a trainer and a manager to help get you promoted. Your life will need to revolve around fighting.\n\nDuring your carrer you will endure many broken noses, broken ribs, and a few dislocation before you are even close to your prime. In addition to your ability to eventuality do some damage to your opponent head and torso you will have to learn to take hefty punch to the head.\n\nNow I'm sure you have seen the fighters on tv, and yes it is real, but so is the blood upon their tattered face. I hope that you are serious about this because it takes a certain person to be able to do this type of fighting.\n\nGood luck to you.

I good place to check is your PAL - Police Atheltic League.  Most counties have them.  Out here, in NJ, where everything is ridculously expensive, our PAL youth boxing league only costs 25 dollars A YEAR!  the coaches they have there are fantastic.  you can't beat that.
