Boxer - The act, activity, or sport of fighting with the fists,
especially according to rules requiring the use of boxing gloves and
limiting legal blows to those striking above the waist and on the front or sides of the opponent.
Promoter - A boxing promoter is in charge of setting up and paying for everything involved in a boxing match and making sure all legal
requirements are met at every step along the way. The promoter assumes all financial risk associated with the event, whether that means the promoter is paying for the event him- or herself or is securing a number of secondary investors to guarantee the costs are met. And when we talk about costs, we're talking about every single thing involved in a fighting event, from the plastic cups the beer is served in to the chairs for each corner of the ring to the ring itself, the round-number girl, the referee, the ticket sales, advertising, licenses and making sure the scales used for weigh-in are properly calibrated. A big-time promoter will often contract out a lot of the details, while a small-time promoter is probably standing in line at the state boxing commission's office to obtain the necessary licenses for a fight and is measuring the ring dimensions to make sure its up to code. But either way, the promoter is ultimately responsible if anything doesn't meet legal requirements or if something goes wrong and the ambulance isn't waiting right outside the venue with exactly two qualified paramedics.
Manager - A boxing manager is responsible for overseeing many aspects of a professional boxer’s career. A boxer can choose to manage himself or herself, but often there may be too much responsibility for him or her to handle. There are typically many business aspects that go into making a boxer’s career successful, such as setting up matches with opponents, negotiating payments, and promoting the boxer to ensure a high turnout at matches. A boxing manager generally receives a percentage of a boxer’s earnings and therefore, will want a boxer to be as financially profitable as possible.
Trainer (Chief Second) - (Chief Second: The person in command of a boxer's corner during a bout.) A boxing trainer is essential to the health and success of a professional or amateur boxer. Boxing trainers design and implement intense physical training regimens and diet plans to ensure that their boxers stay in peak physical condition. In addition, many boxing trainers act as managers and promoters, which involves acquiring the appropriate training equipment, setting up boxing matches, and managing finances and schedules.
Amateur and professional boxers rely on their trainers to prepare them, physically and mentally, for strenuous boxing careers. A boxing trainer must be a good communicator and teacher, able to demonstrate techniques as well as verbally explain strategies. Trainers usually design specific training programs for their boxers, which often include long distance running, weightlifting, and sparring in a ring. It is also common for a trainer to study nutrition information in order to implement healthy diet plans for their trainees.
Boxing trainers frequently assume managerial duties. Managers usually obtain liability insurance and create written contracts between themselves and their trainees. They reserve time at local boxing gyms and obtain quality training equipment for their boxers. A manager will often organize boxing matches for his or her fighter, carefully considering the ability levels of the boxer and the opponent to ensure a safe, fair fight.
Assistant Managers - Secondary role to the Chief. Addition for all managers. Supervising training is a major responsibility of a manager. He or she has to make sure the boxer is in top physical condition in order to decide what type of matches to get the boxer involved in. A fine balance must be maintained in the manager’s selection of opponents to ensure the boxer is properly prepared for competition. At the start of a boxer’s career, his or her manager may be more concerned with him or her learning competition techniques and evolving as a fighter, rather than easily winning. A boxing manager may sign a boxer up to fight against seasoned boxers to gain experience for the long-term, even if it means losing some fights.
Cutman - A cut man (or cutman) is the second who deals with cuts sustained by a boxer during a bout. His job is to stop any bleeding from the face or nose and also to reduce swelling around the eyes by applying cold pressure.
Strength & Condition Coach - An advanced strength, speed and stamina expert who trains a boxer using many different types of training. Most exercises and the way they are executed are opposite to what was thought for decades. Instead of weights using high reps they learned that high-intensity low repetition power exercises produces all three objectives (strength, speed, & stamina).
Nutritionalist (Dietitian) - A sports nutritionist helps create an eating plan for an athlete to ensure that individual is ingesting the proper amount of calories, nutrients and vitamins. Often the nutritionist will break this down into macronutrient ratios that will show the athlete how many calories or grams of carbohydrates, proteins and fats he requires per day.
Physiotherapist - Physical therapy (or physiotherapy), often abbreviated PT, is a health care profession. Physical therapy is concerned with identifying and maximizing quality of life and movement potential within the spheres of promotion, prevention, diagnosis, treatment/intervention,and rehabilitation. This encompasses physical, psychological, emotional, and social well being.
Sparring Partner(s) - A person (or people) who practices with a boxer during training.
