    as an amateur you dont need to take your top off. you fight with a cutoff sleeve shirt. its only at the pro level that you are required to go topless unless you are a girl, or a guy with man boobs. then im sure they might make an exception for you. go amateur if you want to go shirts.

    I dont see anyone with their top off in my gym

    if you really want to become a boxer then stop being so self conscious and find a gym.
