Firstly I only got that job because you and Massouw couldn't be arsed getting up!!! - and thanks for the sympathy when the crash happened I remember when you got back from explaining the bathroom photos :TU: you laughed your b*llocks off !!!

The funny side of things I can remember us seeing poor Victor outside Wembley Arena a while after - he tried to run away!!! Nice bloke!!!

Whilst we are talking about Russian Boxers who was that bloke we picked up at Heathrow - and we thought he couldn't understand english and I think one of your phrases was he going to be "cannon fodder"??
he was the bloke who was fighting eastman, was it ahmed douttev or something.

Matchmaker and manager. Easiest jobs to get into.

Just find yourself a local talent and search BoxRec for all the TBA matches and suggest your fighter as an opponent for that bout and get a cut out of it. :TU:

Becoming a corner man is extremely easy as well. Basically just $20 for the ID card through your state commission. However most fighters already have a corner man, so you could just offer your services to a promoter and anyone who don't have a corner man you're appointed to I'm assuming.

From trainers, promoters, and coaches to referees and boxing gym owners, the industry has roles for individuals passionate about the sport. These positions vary in responsibility and income, allowing people to explore their unique skills in supporting or managing boxing events. There's also a growing demand for media roles, including commentators, analysts, and content creators, especially with the expansion of digital platforms broadcasting fights and promoting athletes.
Moreover, for those considering transitioning to or exploring these roles, having certain clearances, such as the online for clearance, might be beneficial to show credibility or secure certain positions, depending on the organization's requirements. While it may not be a strict requirement, obtaining it can enhance a candidate's profile.

Think the Promoter job at Sky Sports is coming vacant next summer, put your cv in. You only need to have promoted four small hall events and they'll give you an exclusive multi million contract.

I'm from the north west and currently been made redundant and whilst looking for a new job nothing has inspired me at all. I started thinking about what I'm passionate about and doing a job that I genuinely cared for and boxing is my biggest passion. Can anyone give me any tips? I appreciate I could just ask the guys at the gym to help me qualify as a trainer which in the long term is great but in the short term I need a job! I know this is a strange post but where better to ask than here? Mod's, feel free to delete this if it offends you.

Anyway,

Thanks for your time.
