i think its better improve your boxing, cos its easyer to use your hands and dont expose yourself ,but also recommend to train muay thai defensive strike game
if you make your debut, its good to know how you dont waste energy in the fight, cos you will be very nervous and your heart beat will be increase, and it will cost a lot of energy, and stay in mind the whole time of the fight to dont look like kimbo vs dada 5000
a LOT of debut fights or amateurs are decided by cardio
so.. do what youre good, and do what you feel comfortable, dont try any jackie chan move
good luck! go catch your 1-0!
