This is a great question that I hope to answer here clearly.
In order to be considered an “amateur” fighter by the Iowa Athletic Commission, a fighter can’t be PAID to fight.
Also, the distinction is made whether or not the majority of income that the fighter makes is from fighting. Many different rule changes exist to differentiate between pro status and amatuer status. I will hit the main ones in following posts.
Make sure you keep an eye on the RULES category as we will explain all sorts of rules details and that is where our release forms are found.
Simply put, an amateur fighter is one that isn’t paid and doesn’t fight for a living. Those are the kind that we feature in our fight nights.
Hope that helps!
