Joining your local club would be a good start.

Sure go to your local gym and join, they will assign you a trainer and when he feels your ready he will get you entered in some local tournament.

Tip: Act like an idiot at the gym and you might even get a fight before you're ready.

Same goes here if you are from the UK! But you can PM me.

Hmmm - I supposed you can PM me, too - except I'm not on this forum all the time. I have my own amateur boxing web site at http://www.amateurboxing.com.

ABA - are you also involved with the Warrior Boxing web site?

No just EABA & My own site.

The Warrior site & myself dont seem to get along, but dont want to go into that here!

I would say though that the Warrior site has a good forum that you could talk to other Amateur boxers.

Its mainly UK Amateurs there, with some good people & some not so good like all Forums.

Though they dont cover Europe or World boxing a great deal!

The initial reason was that you saw fit to plunder Warrior and other websites to develop your own. Water under the bridge now but a problem aired and all that!

I would say though that the Warrior site has a good forum that you could talk to other Amateur boxers.

Nearly 3000 members with up to 1000 individual visits (PC log ins) a day, which makes it the most visited Amateur Boxing Forum out there!

Its mainly UK Amateurs there, with some good people & some not so good like all Forums.

On average we have to terminate the registration of half a dozen people a year and cull half a dozen posts each week.

Though they dont cover Europe or World boxing a great deal!

The demand isn't there unless there's a major championship such as the Worlds or the Olympics.

By the way..........Hi Mel

Might as well get a plug in too: TALK UK Amateur Boxing at http://www.warriorboxing.com

Well - sounds as if we are all getting along, now! LOL!

Seriously, it's good to have contacts around the world for information and link sharing. If everyone shares, each web site is valuable. I don't think one has to be better than any other.

Tarquin Tarpaulin IV - good grief!

Hi back and where did you come up with that moniker!

By the way, gotta post on your site - have an English PAL team coming to So. Cal. this Saturday. Want info.
