I don't come from a rich family and I dont have the money to go spend on equipment. But I really want to be a boxer. That's always been my dream.

Just do lots of jogging and find a good well known gym. Then at the gym try to find the best trainer available. You can go to local boxing matches first to see clubs or fighters that do really good. If you see a fighter who looks very polished chances are he has a good trainer that could fit you in.

Yes - find a gym and a trainer who can teach you correctly. Boxing is probably the least expensive sport. All you have to buy, once you start to compete, are boxing shoes, tank top and trunks. Most amateur gyms provide all other equipment; some even have shoes and head guards you can use. If you are interested in joing a gym, please email me at mel@amateurboxing.com. Tell me your city and state and I'll give you a contact in your area.

I have a friend that actually wanted to pursue a boxing career. But the problem was at the beginning his trainer told him that it would be better to break his nose before he actually started anything. So he did do that.. it hurt so bad that he chose not pursue it.
Hope that made up your mind in a way.

Study the training regimen of Rocky Marciano.. Also learn all you can about the training methods his trainer used for him. The trainer for Marciano turned a guy who could only punch into one of the best heavyweights ever.
