I train boxing 6 days a week and 2 an a half hours each day minimum, is it enough for competing amateur?

When i rest on sunday, i feel like i could do much more but with the gym closed i don't have the same will to do exercise.

Are you fucking stupid lmao
I trained like twice a week max and had an amateur fight
People do 3/4 days a week and have fights

How long have you been training for

>>219059
for like 6 months. I do a lot of cardio, bag work and wrestling training for clinching, i have a pro training me so i can't slack off

>>219064
So why are you asking. You're basically training like a pro. Do you have the willpower and aggression to step in the ring? That's down to you

>>219056 (OP)
That’s way more time most people can invest in a sport… if your not totally untalented your good.
But how about asking your coach instead …?

I thought "amateur and pro" were STYLES of boxing ,tho? Amateur is the one with helmets, and more focused on points ,the one seen at the Olympics. and pro is the one based on KO
what's the correct terminology if YOU are an ameteur doing "pro style" fight?

>>219170
No. Amateur is when you get carded by an official boxing governing body(of your country), have a medical and get your bouts registered officially. Amateur literally means "for the love of,(the sport)" you don't get paid, at most you get a medal/ trophy and wins on your card

Maybe your coach will find you a fight outside of those terms and conditions, can you still call it amateur boxing? Idk. More like heavy sparring or interclub. In order to truly say you do "amateur boxing" I think you need to get "carded". I think that's where the line is drawn. Otherwise if you simply "train". I would say it's a hobby. You're not an amateur boxer youre a hobbyist who trains and spars.

Pro boxing is when you get your pro boxing licence. This allows you to compete at a "higher" level although to my knowledge there's plenty of amateurs who would wipe the floor with "pros". As far as I know anyone can get their pro licence. This is where you start getting paid for wins and fighting in general. I don't fully know how this side of it works but I'd imagine it's similar to being carded. And yes this all costs money to do.

Olympic boxers (I just found this out btw since you asked) seem to have specific rules like the boxer can't be a pro with more than 15 fights, they don't make money off it, and it's mostly amsteurs using it as a stepping stone to turn pro or make a name for themselves

Headgear has different rules as well. For Olympics it's required. Here for amateurs it currently isn't since around 2018. For women it is still required. Pros don't wear headgear. In different countries it may still be required. The conditions vary depending on country to country. Weight classes also differ between amateurs and pros.

Neither are based only "on points" you can KO or TKO in both of them

Correction, apparently olympic boxers can make a shitload of money, government grants etc

as a person that trains everyday without a single excuse, I felt insanely terrified when I heard ''2 and a half hours''
I only train 1!
I think you are more than ready to do amateur, I even think you can be a proffesional if you want to

>>219064
>for like 6 months. I do a lot of cardio, bag work and wrestling training for clinching, i have a pro training me so i can't slack off
You have a pro training you, but you don't think to ask him? If you're telling the truth, the pro said no and you're seething about it.

Bro, there's no way you trained for 6 months and can now handle 15 hours of volume a week. You're like the gym-rats on /fit/ who train 6 days a week then never grow muscle because their bodies have no time to recover. Rest. Let your body work normally.

>train two hours a day, six days a week
>asking 4chan if you should fight instead of having this discussion with your coach
Why though?

>>219056 (OP)
Yes, if you are not a wooden or not adecendant of a chess player and pianist couple, just keep going. Stand your ground, and one day, you will be a champion. Probably not to everyone, but in your little world for sure.

it depends how old is he. when I was 18 and was doing amateur Muay Thai I trained 6-7x a week and still had school. If he is a young buck he def has the energy.
>>219114
solid point. If he doesn't have the hunger or aggression, he will get rolled. My first two fights were baaaaaad, but it helped me to become more ruthless in a way

>>219056 (OP)
No. No amount of training can help you fight if you are not a fighter. Lots of people train and learn nothing of value. They get some good cardio but cant punch a hole in a paper bag.
Just watch downs syndrom danny box.

Kid in my family is 18 and building up to a fight in a few months. He's doing 4 a week on top of a physical job every day. That's built from 3 a week. If he asked to do 6 a week his coach would probably drop him for being retarded. And this is a real old school ghetto gym.

You're training like a pro but you're not a pro. At least put another rest day in there and then try and drop another day by increasing some intensity and taking less time.
