My dad doesn't want me to go to college?Please help!!!?

I'm 17 right now and currently a senior in high school.I maintain a GPA of 3.8 and graduated my junior year with honors. I have plans to get a secure job and go to a 4 year college and get my Bachelors in Business Administration but my dad wants me to become a professional boxer. I have been boxing for half my life and I have fought an amateur record of 28 wins 19 KOs and 1 loss. I still continue to box but I do it as a hobby and not as a career. I respect my father a lot but I wish he can understand how important an education means to me.Please help!
