You can't hold a coaching card and a boxing card at the same time can you?

I can think of atleast 5 amateur fighters locally offhand that have both.

This is amateur boxing Canada, so not sure if the rules extend the same to everywhere for amateur boxing. Interesting question though. You would hope they'd be close, seeing as ultimately all paths competitively lead to 2 similar paths, Olympics and/or pro.

All I know is that I can't hold a fighting card and work in our clubs corner, not even hand up.

Is that because of regulation or club policy though?

I'm a certified level one official, certified coach as well as a boxer. I recommend it to any boxer. The more time in the ring the better. The judging and reffing has really helped me figure out what works and what doesn't. Reffing is the best seat in the house to pick up other guys' tricks and stuff.
