I would start with the state boxing commision, I would think everything boxing related would run through them at some point. At the very least they could point you in the right direction.

I know my other options, but what would my friend have to do to be my manager?

Ill say this Golden Dont go there, dont let your freind practice on you there will be a fallout seen it before.

Get you boxing gigs manage your career, negotiate on your behalf and so on .


I would recommend doing it correct from the start with a professional manager / promoter that is already cemented in the field of boxing . If you are a quality fighter and have a good amateur background, you owe it yourself to make the best of it and do it right. I would go interview several guys and see what they can do for you. I have heard great things about Lester Bedford, that’s why I suggested him. He did a fantastic job with James Leija as his manager and promoter , and he has put together well over 100 quality boxing matches in the state of Texas . Bedford has working ties with companies such as Goldenboy promotions and so on. Set up an interview mate . See what he and other managers can do for you.

Lords Gym can you send the contact info by email to me for Mr. Bedford, and let me know who you are so I can tell him who referred me if youd like. jorodpip@yahoo.com
