About to start boxing, any tips/ pointers? what should i know/do?

I am an Ameteur boxer, so ithink that i can definatly help you out. The first thing that you need is you need to really commit to boxing, it cant just be a hobby. You have to let it consume you from the inside out. Next, be prepared to get hit. i dont know how much informal training youve had, but when i started, i had none, and your going to get hit in the nose more than once before you learn to defend yourself properly. Next, get in and spar with someone knowledgable right away, someone that can help you learn the footwork and help you define your fighting style. Defining who you are as a fighter early on is probably the most important thing you can do for yourself. Learning what your best at naturally, then building upon it. Diet wise, after a workout, try to get as many calories in you as possible, as soon as possible. Early on dont worry about making your weight cl, as your body is not done developing yet, you will settle into your weight cl naturally.
