When is a Boxer Boxing Too Much?

By Boxing Dad

My stepson has been boxing about a year now. He's only been in two fights and lost one but took a lot of punches. he still has a lot to learn but his trainer has him teaching other people at his gym he goes about three days a week and also on saturday to train others.

I feel that he needs more training before he can help others. His trainer said he will be able to pay him when he can take a coaching test. How old does he have to be to take this kind of test?

He has his heart set on this. He came home today stating he was fighting 16 rounds with every boxer at the gym and also came home light-headed. Should he be going 16 round at his age?

Please get back to me since he's been boxing we has him seeing a doc for headaches he's come home with large bruises on his sides black eyes bruises on his neck.

I don't have any problem with him boxing i did it myself as a younger kid. But i feel he's being pushed too hard by his trainer.

Thanks.
