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.

I would be a matchmaker and organise Huge PPV Fights every weekend of the year :)

If only it were that simple!

Well I am involved in Boxing, I film most Amateur shows in London, Film Pro shows of Maloney, Matchroom, Goodwin, Helliett, so I am pretty lucky to be in that field..
and I did hold 5 Licences with the BBBofC

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!

5! What are they all?

My 5 licenses were Trainer, Second, Agent, Manager, MC

Cuts man, i'd love to 'save the day' for my boxers and get them through fights... being called the best cuts man around appeals to me lol



Either that or the guy that looks after the ring girls.....

Trainer for me. Love analysing fights. Would have loved to have been a trainer.

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

i'd be Danny Flexen's doppelganger

Promoter, without a doubt.

Elena Reid's pants probably.

EDIT: With a well chosen week off once a month.

A fighter, without a doubt, there is nothing like being in the spotlight

Fighter
Coach/trainer
Ref

In that order, imagine being a ref for a huge fight. Best view in the house. Lol

Frank Warrens Libel Lawyer.

write programmes for Goodwin Promotions.....

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

don't be so squeamish

trainer...id love to say "he'll 'huyt' permanent champ"

i forgot the "ya" haha must have been all those shots i took in the 20's as a grizzled journeyman

Trainer or promoter for me, would love that.

Boxer, clearly. There's nothing like climbing through those ropes.

trainer/manager. Being a trainer is very rewarding.
