The exact requirements for obtaining a boxing license (amateur or professional) vary from state to state, but there are some common requirements that exist in every state. These include: Passing a standard physical examination. There are several forms you may need to complete, including USA Boxing’s form. Submitting an application form and fee. The fee varies by organization but typically is anywhere between $20-$100. It’s important to note that a license in one state may or may not be valid in another state, depending on both state’s regulations. The various governing bodies have their own rules. Passing a drug test. Some licensing organizations, and most major sanctioned events at both the amateur and pro levels, require athletes to submit to drug testing.
