How do I ago about being a Boxing Ref

[JT Rock]

I have wanted to be a ref for a while and dont know what kind of credentials are needed to accompolish that. Any info?

Thanks

To be an amateur boxing ref Go to usaboxing.org or call them and ask where and when the clinics are They have boxing clinics all the time where you go to a designated place in your state, youll take a 4 hour or so course then take a level 1 test. This test is easy. then youre a level 1 official. There are three levels in the us. You would have to start in local shows. Its a hard thing to get good at but if your dedicated youll get better and better. You basically move up the latter as you improve. Hope this helps.

Thanks bud I found a hook up along the same lines.... Start you off as a time keeper, then a judge and based on your performances. you get evaluated and reccomended to be a ref
