How to become a Professional Boxer?

Boxing is a famous sport worldwide and is practiced by many people. But for some, it’s more than just exercise; it’s a lifestyle.

You may want to pursue a career as a professional MMA Fighter, but to reach this level of fighting, it takes a lot of dedication and daily professional training so that you can improve your performance in the ring.

What Is Professional Boxing?

Professional boxing is a combat sport in which fighters wear padded gloves and use their hands to attack and defend.

The objective in boxing is to deliver blows to score or knock out the opponent, following a set of predetermined rules. The fights take place in a boxing ring, a cushioned platform surrounded by ropes that determine the combat area.

The boxing match ends when the total time runs out or when one of the fighters is unable to continue the match.

Difference Between Amateur and Professional Boxing

There are several similarities between professional and amateur boxing, but without a doubt, they are distant relatives of the same family.

Amateur boxing only has four rounds of two minutes each, one minute of rest, and the mandatory use of head protection.

The goal is to land a strong hit and the five judges determine the victor. Amateur boxing differs from its pro counterpart in that boxers are given additional safety; if blood is drawn, a doctor is often brought in, and the refs may call it quits.

It was only until the last century that professional boxers even fought more than 15 rounds. Today this regulation has been changed, with the sole purpose of protecting and preventing physical wear and tear or sometimes even avoiding death, as has happened many times in all these years.

Paid boxing consists of several mighty blows. It requires excellent physical preparation so that the boxer can endure 12 rounds of giving and receiving blows with his opponents. Most amatuer boxers fight for fans and not to make a living.

For the amateur boxer, his incentive is to get a medal in the world or Olympic events since the fights in which they take place have no financial compensation. It would be against the spirit that created this sport.

Steps to Become a Professional Boxer

Professional boxing training requires much more speed, strength, defense, and autonomy than amatuer boxing. In addition, a lot of discipline and dedication must be the basis for a good combat result.

Your trainer will teach basic boxing moves like jabs, uppercuts, and hooks. You will also learn how to work with your feet during the fight and defensive positions and movements.

Your instructor should also work on your stamina and agility. So don’t get upset if he asks you to do hundreds of push-ups. It’s all to make you more resilient. Also, the trainer will only let you fight when you’re ready.

Good MMA Fighter training is based on the following:

• Intense and fast punches in a bag
• Training circuits
• Jumping rope
• Doing squats and sit-ups

Therefore, you need to train outside the ring with daily discipline to get great results.

Increase the intensity of your workouts:

Exercises should last an hour and a half and be done four times a week. In addition, squats, push-ups, sit-ups, and stationary bikes should range from 20 to 30 minutes in duration. And before starting fight training, warming up with 10 minutes of jumping rope is a great idea.

Requirements a good MMA Fighter must have:

Defense:
In a professional fight, your opponent will attack you with several punches per round and with as much speed as he can. Therefore, you must have resistance on your shoulders to make your defenses firmly.

Speed:
You have to keep in mind that your opponents also go through a long training period, making them faster in their movements. Therefore, you should also work on the speed of your punches so that during the fight, you can hit the opponent.

Force:
You acquire strength with a good technique, but the key point is knowing how to control it so you don’t waste a lot of energy in a single blow.

Autonomy:
When you become a professional MMA fighter, your every fight move must be instinctive. That is, you don’t need to calculate which move to make. You just have autonomy and do it.
