amatuer boxing and white collar boxing

[newone]

2 questions:

could you fight amatuer boxing if you have had pro mma fights?

are there any good white collar boxing clubs in the hampshire/berkshire or surrey area?

I cant tell you anything about Hampshire/Berkshire or Surrey.

The answer to your first question I believe is yes as they're different sports. A lot of Mixed Martial Artists fight on boxing shows as amateurs afaik.

As said above yeah you can complete in AM boxing as a pro MMA fighter.

Although being a pro mma fighter doesn't quite make you a white collar now does it?

That's sort of cheating

i think it does still apply to me as althoug ive fought pro mma its not really full pro, yeah you get paid a little but by no means professional, like whilte collar boxers i still have a full 40 hr working week etc

Cheers. Yep, done Am MMA with no headshots but that was it, weird feeling being able to hit someone as hard as I could. Massive rush from the crowd!

how would you go about getting involved with it? presume normal boxing rules, how about round duration etc?

I just emailed them with my details and then phoned them a couple of weeks later. Theres a contact form on the site, theres also mobile numbers. 3 X 2 minute rounds with 14oz gloves for novices.
