I want to compete in the 2024 Olympics as a boxer, how long should I stay boxing as an amateur?

Soon one day, I want to begin boxing lessons and basics but once you enter amateur competitions and tournaments , do you have win multiple fights in national and go on to win the golden gloves then qualify to qualify trials there to show you can go to the Olympics that way?

You have to have a lot of experience. If you have had no boxing lessons I don’t think you’re gonna have enough time to be ready for the Olympics-in 2024 you’re talking about a year from now just about. Those are top of the line fighters that also make good professionals you need to have at least 25 amateur fights or around 30 to 45 before you can think about the Olympics

How about the 2028 Olympics or if there’ll be one in the Olympics because they’re talking about boxing might not be part of it

Yes if your good or you can just go Pro and take your shot at the championship of the world what weight division are you?

[Asker]

It would be heavyweight

[Iron_Man]

Outstanding that’s the best division of all times

[Asker]

Yes if I were to be started, I’m pretty buff and could maybe move good and punch

[Iron_Man]

Give it your best shot

[Asker]

Thank you, I wanted to know how the golden gloves go… do you have to fight multiple matches to get to the championship match

[Iron_Man]

Yes in most cases

[Asker]
