Do yourself a favour and if you want to continue boxing, do it in the safety of the amateur ranks for a bit. Im not saying what happened is due to any injury but it should make you realise should you not have been able to work because of it there would be no insurance to pay for you. If this were an amateur fight there would be insurance to cover you and you arent just looked at as a piece of meat to sell tickets.
I should think your coach gains financially from you fighting in these things so maybe not the best person to talk to. Find a local amateur club and go and have a nose at their setup.
Good luck anyway.
My coaches are ABA coaches though and I go through the unlicensed out of
Choice. We are an ABA gym ! I was looked after well in this fight and didn't have to pay anything. It was a professional show at the end of the day. I didn't have to sell tickets for this and they paid for the flights, hotel and I was going to get a purse for the fight too ! I get paid for every away fight I box on. It's just the home ones I don't, but you do make money selling tickets
You might call it professional because you get paid but it wont be sanctioned by any professional bodies. Its unlicenced and the fighters wont be insured. The only insurance they can get for these shows if they even bother is public liability for the crowd.
It was sanctioned by the Malta boxing commission, Scott Dixon fought a professional fight and we were the unlicensed undercard. I didn't have to pay for any hospital treatment

To be fair , Ross and I don't see eye to eye on many things , but I can see that he's trying to be helpful here and wants you to be safe and aware of what goes on.
He's still a Wanker though.;)
Re: Got the fight card for my fight in Malta Jan 22nd
Speaking to my ABA coach today he's happy I'm ok and the doctors have said have 6 months out and he's strongly me advised me to get carded up into the ABAs. I'm going to speak to my main coach and see what he thinks, I'm not making an quick decisions but I'm not counting it out for sure.
Re: Got the fight card for my fight in Malta Jan 22nd

We know you are fit but are you healthy enough to get back in the ring?
No head shots or sparring. Boxercise only.

An insurance company will not insure an unlicenced fighter.
Im not calling you a lier but id say you have been misled.

If you look every fight on the bill was professional, the Malta boxing commison was in charge of it and the guy who runs the organisation was
With me in the ambulance. Everything was done properly.
If I had actually boxed that night my name would of been on boxrec lol
