It is important that you spar with boxers that are at your level, but it is possibly more important to challenge yourself and spar with more experienced boxers. Don’t get in the ring for a competitive match above your abilities but do take advantage of opportunities to sparring with experienced boxers at your own gym. Experienced fighters offer you a challenge and allow you to learn while still providing a safe environment to learn. Though it can be intimidating a good experienced boxer will show you where you are making mistakes and challenge you to do better.
