Amateur Season...

[rowdy144]

Hey everyone, i'm new to the site and was just wondering how an amateur boxing season is set out in the UK and also interested in knowing how it differs elsewhere.

When does the actual season begin and end? Also while the season is over is it still possible for amateur boxers to still be active? (still fighting etc)

Also heard in a few places that some people get told that they can fight "next season" is this because you can only register to fight at the begin of an amateur season even if your not gonna take part in competitions?

Sorry if most of these questions seem basic to those who know the ins and outs of the amateur scene, hope you can help

The amateur season is ending soon, not sure when but my last fight is the 29th May and the season is over for me. Normally i relax for most the summer and then get back in training hard. Season starts around september time though..

Thanks for the info. So does that mean that between June and September there will be no amateur fights at all? Or just no Amateur competitions?

Also is there a form you have to fill in and send in before a deadline to be able to fight during that season?

Anyone got anymore info please?

there is fights all year long. But most fights happen during the winter season. Don't worry about forms, your gym will handle all of that for you. Just find a nice gym that doesn't charge too much money and your set, good luck.
