It means they do not fight for a purse meaning money.
Any amateur is in a sport because they enjoy it.
Realistically he can stay there for as long as he wishes to stay.
To become an Olympian you must qualify to represent your country.
Most take many years to become an Olympian, but some like George Foreman did it in a very short time.
Basically speaking... Amateur boxing means 'unpaid' boxing.
An amateur boxer competes in the sport for the love of it, not the financial reward. If you progress through the ranks, you may be considered for the Olympic's - This would be the very best at their chosen weight representing their country.
Amateur boxng is very fast, and usually lasts no more then three rounds. Because of this, the boxer must get off to a fast start, and use every minute to score as many points as possible.
Professional boxing is more of a thinking / tactics affair... The boxer has between six and twelve rounds to plan his opponents demise... Ad he gets paid for it.
An amateur isn't as serious as pro boxing as in an amateur can wear a head-guard and a t-shirt etc.
