At the age of 19 how many amateur fights should you have had if your aiming to go pro?

hungover · 10-14-2011, 02:26 PM

there's no certain number. it just depends on the fighter.

The more the better. However you can go in with none and still be a champ!
That's the great thing about boxing anybody can be great

As far as non-titlists go, Guinness really didn't have all that horrible a career - as long as you leave out all the great expectations. Leave them in, and it was indeed a disaster (of Southern origin).

To the OP: however many it takes for your coaches to feel comfortable with you making the leap. It might not be many. Don't rush to cram in as many as possible just to pad the number up. Quality over quantity (although both would be ideal).
