    Hi,

    I was just wondering if anybody has any knowledge regarding the college boxing competition held every Feb in the national stadium.

    I heard somewhere that you can enter once you have not exceeded 10 fights at amatuer level.

    I had 5 fights recorded in my book as an amatuer, and as I am going to college in September I was wondering if I entered this tournament would I be stopped from fighting in it if for example it took more than 5 fights to reach the final?

    I dont know but, i would presume you would be regarded as a novice at the start of the tournament.
