    Forgive me if im asking in the wrong place. I really want to get involved in boxing but not delusional enough to think i could be a fighter

    What are the steps in becoming a ref? Is there a national or state run organiztions? age requirement? I want to follow in the footsteps of my hero randy newman :yep

    any feedback would be greatly appreciated. thanks

    Where are you? In the US you need to take the officials clinic and pass the test; and then do some practice judging sessions before they let you judge a live bout. Reffing comes later.
