WHY DO YOU WANT TO BE A PRO BOXING REFEREE?
Referees must treat 4 rounds fight with the same level of preparation, dedication, and respect as you would a 12 rounds world title fight. So how should you prepare?
1. Research about the boxers on YouTube and their style of fighting.
2. No drinking the night before. Don't eat anything that could cause stomach discomfort. Sleep early and get a good rest.
3. Prepare all your gears the night before.
4. Meditate and trust yourself that you can do it. It is not the time for self doubt.
5. Conduct yourself as if you are on the world stage for a world championship fight. Remeber that everyone is watching.
6. It's ok to make a mistake but its not okay to hesitate. When you make a call, make it loud and clear.
Know that it is not about you. It's about ensuring the safety and the fairness for the boxers who put their lives in the ring. At the end, what Tony Weeks said during the Referee training seminar encapsulates it well. "You do it for the love and respect of the sport".
