How long before you can enter a boxing show?

If i was a new guy stepping into a gym/club how long would it take (ON AVERAGE) before i was good enough to have a fight in a boxing show at an amature level?|||Once your fitness level goes up, you get some sparring under your belt and your body becomes accustomed to the intensity of the training, most trainers with the old-school mentality wouldn%26#039;t let you have an actual contest for 6 to 12 months. This is partly the reason why people start boxing and drift away: Because they are too impatient, and after 2 weeks of training, they want to get in the ring and fight, and will be pestering the trainer to allow them to do so. It%26#039;s all about instant gratification. The trainer knows best (or should do, in theory), and will decide, and most likely know, when a guy is ready to get in the ring and have a contest. Listen to the trainer, and be patient.|||Paulie answered this question better then I could. He`s right try to get in shape before you rush into any fight in that squared circle.|||That would depend on your level of fitness and skill before you started. Your trainer will be able to tell when you%26#039;re ready to fight. But I would say a couple of months. You would be matched to someone of similar skill and experience, so even if you had only trained for 1 month, it%26#039;s unlikely you%26#039;ll get beaten really badly because the other guy wouldn%26#039;t have much more experience.
