I was looking for and Opponent for a Lightheavyweight who was an experienced amateur (200+ bouts) now competing as a semi pro.
Show is in early august in east london and opponent gets half of any ticket sales they make (£20 per ticket)
Ex pro would be ideal. Will be over 6 X 2 min rounds.

Well he is either the worlds worst amateur to have 200+ amateur fights and then feel he is only ready for semi-pro boxing or he is old 35+ that wants to have a move around. Can you tell me the name of the guy as I may no someone to take you up on the offer and he could end up sparking this 200+ amateur aswell, you can either pm of let me no on the board.

Didn't know there was such a thing as a 'semi-pro'?
Thought if you wasn't pro you was amateur?

Semi pro is just unlicensed fighting. In recent years it has become a lot more popular and mainstream, so they have given themselves a semi pro tag so they look more legitimate.
Obviously they are getting paid for it, and the ticket sellers are getting paid well, but being semi pro is like being semi pregnant!

Doesnt it just menqa you're getting paid for it but its not your main proffession?
Surely if an unlicenced boxer did nothing but box for a living they'd be aproffessional boxer, just not under the BBBOC??
