I am 18 I want to box for a living I live in Ashland ky what can I do to become a boxer?

workout hard, the choice is, you could have a very slow amateur career with about 65 to 100 amateur fights, or you could go the fast route enter a few tough man boxing matches then turn pro by contacting your state athletic commission you might not become the next De La Hoya but you could earn a decent living. pro boxers making their debut or the ones on the low end of the sport, only make about $2,500. a lot of great boxers had very short amateur careers such as Donny Lalonde he only had 15 amateur fights and became a champion. good luck with what ever you decide to do.
