There are also some things you’ll have avoid, the first of them being structured boxing classes. Such classes are great for fitness crowds and hobbyists, but they will not benefit your boxing evolution in any way. Structured boxing classes aren’t bad, there’s really nothing wrong with them, but they are not made for a competitive fighter and you will have a lot of trouble if you want to become one by using them. Still, if you have good instructors, you can learn from such classes too, but mostly in addition to individual sessions; so, don’t necessarily rule out all gyms that offer such classes, but rather check the programmes they offer before enrolling.
