Well normally once you're fit and ready you can get some experience under your belt. There's two ways you can go, you can gain some experience through some amateur fights which you don't get money out of except some hands-on knowledge when it comes to fighting, or if you can already hold your own against a professional fighter you can go straight into the pros. You have to get a boxing licence for eather undertaking. And before that, you should see if you can find a good gym and a reputable trainer to get you where you need to be.

I'll be honest with you Chris, boxing's not an easy go. Even if you have all the enthusiasm in the world you can still lose you a'ss, and since you have to support a family you shouldn't go all gungho until you have a strong means to keep things steady.

Besides boxing advice if you're serious about doing this you need to find something that'll support you guys on the meantime. Maybe you can put some money aside from your driving so you go into a trades program that'll give you enough time for boxing once you're working. I've heard of guys with a full time job that are able to make time for their family and for boxing. Then if things go all right you can make the full transition into a pro career without worrying about your financial situation.

You still gotta plan smart before you decide go for it, and I wish you best.
