    I am the editor of the Boxing Observer, a boxing tabloid which has been set-up for the last 6 months. I am looking for skilled writers to write fight previews, reviews and some general news. If you are keen and you can write in a distinguished manner, then I can give you a section to focus on, and mange and distribute vie social media. Big scope for development.

    If you are keen, let me know. www.theboxingobserver.com

    It is a website and there is no money involved. Never is unless you scribe for Yahoo and The Ring mate. Even then, it is little bro.

    there are alot of people who wouldnt mind doing this, but tbh you should try to offer some sort of incentive.

    You're going to be making money from the site, no?
    How about tickets to the fight you choose to preview?

    Give us SOMETHING??!! God dammit!!

    aye i cant do any writing ,eh because ause i misspelt something on a boxing forum- If only you knew, then the joke would be on you.:?

    when someone says tabloid to me, i think of a newspaper never heard a website being refferd to as a tabloid ,hence the question

    good luck with it anyway.

    thing is mate, the guy is right there isint much money in boxing writing mate .Very few sites will pay you and if your covering fights then you will get the press pass but you have to cover the travel costs and hotel (if required) out of your own pocket .

    Not true. I make 30 per cent of my income from boxing websites and 100 per cent from journalism.

    Most people never make anything because a) they want to be the big boss and set up their own tinpot site that nobody has heard of b) they aren't prepared to work hard enough c) they don't know how to network with the right people to get the opportunities.

    I appreciate anyone who does something to help the sport as a whole but I'll be honest, you aren't exactly selling this to people.

    If there's no payment involved then maybe you should be drawing people in by mentioning which promoters you have accreditation with, which fighters you can give the people who come on board access to etc.
