FIRST OFF THE YOUNGER YOU GET STARTED THE BETTER. FIND A GYM IN YOUR AREA, IF YOU ARE FROM A SMALL TOWN OR RURAL AREA IT,S HARDER. I BOUGHT A HEAVY BAG, SOME BAG GLOVES AND SENTS OF 12 oz AND 16oz. GLOVES. I PESTERED ALL MY FRIENDS TO SPARE AND THEY STARTED TO AVOID ME. IF YOU ARE OLD ENOUGH TO DRIVE GET TO A CITY FOR A GYM AND EVEN THEN ALOT OF THE SMALLER CITIES DO NOT HAVE BOXING. CHECK OUT PLACES LIKE THE BOYS AND GIRLS CLUBS ,YMCA,CHURCH GROUPS BELIEVE IT OR NOT. MOST GYMS WILL LET YOU CHECK IT OUT TO SEE IF YOU LIKE IT OR NOT AT NO CHARGE. I HAD TWO GYMS WHEN I GOT OLDER. YOU WILL SEE THAT NO ONE WILL PUT YOU DOWN FOR TRYING. IF YOU JUST WANT TO LEARN,KEEP IN SHAPE,AND HAVE SOME FUN THATS GREAT.NO ONE WILL BUG YOU TO SPARE. YOU'LL KNOW IN YOUR HEART IF YOU WANT TO COMPETE IN THE ONLY SPORT THAT IS,NT A GAME , IT'S ONE ON ONE.A NOBLE SPORT. TAKE IT AS FAR AS YOU WANT OR AS FAR AS YOU CAN. THERE IS NO FEELING LIKE WHEN YOUR ARM IS RAISED IN VICTORY.
A professional boxer begins by taking up the sport. Practice at home and/or at a gym is a first step. Some kind of "lessons" or training are needed, and this will allow a young fighter to "work his way up" as he grows up. Some schools actually have boxing incorporated in their sports programs.
The practice, the training and the matches a youth participates in will allow him to be noticed as he grows and becomes more skilled. At some point, a trainer or coach or even someone who manages fighters will identify the youth as someone with enough talent to have a shot at a professional career. It might also be that the trainer or coach will tell a fighter that a professional career is not in the fighter's future.
Boxing is a very active and physical sport - you are constantly bouncing, bobbing and moving around the ring to position yourself for defense and offense. Therefore, training should incorporate whole-body aerobics (running, cycling, swimming, interval training) as well as upper body strength training (free and stationary weights). On top of this, you would train in specific techniques, such as punches and blocks.
Get a coach and train. Set up a few amatuer fights. Make a name for yourself then start boxing for money. If you are good enough you can become a pro boxer.
