If you could have a job in boxing...

Post by dbf »

What would your dream boxing job be?

Boxer? Promoter? Commentator? Official? Manager? Matchmaker? Analyst? Presenter?

I am fortunate enough to work in boxing full time, but would be interested find out what others think.

I am not Danny Flexen.

boxer.

i'm 38...never set foot in a ring...but realised last week that i can't go thru life without ever having experienced a boxing match from the inside...so joined a gym on Monday...gonna lose a few pounds...get myself fit(ish) and then join a white collar club.

i just want 1 fight so i can properly know how it feels.

i've no doubt whatsoever i'll get my arse handed to me but that's not the point..........and you never know....i could be an undiscovered rough diamond and end up the king of the world!

never too late. You could always start out at an amateur club and learn from there.

Ref is probably too much responsibility for me but judging would be good. I judge in the ams and love it.
