Tina Akhoondtabar became the world female boxing champion

Professional boxing is one of the two types of modern competitive boxing, along with amateur boxing. Although the fighting is generally identical (there are some differences, but they are not vital), the concept of amateur and professional boxing is very different. One notable difference is that professionals generally cannot compete in the Olympic Games, so once you go pro, you cannot come back to the Olympics. Since the concepts are different, we’ve decided to tell you what you need to start a career in amateur boxing, in hope that it might help you and answer some dilemmas you might have.
