    That’s crazy how dominant he is against guys who have over a decade of experience over him.

    I’m no hardcore boxing fan, but the most recent fighter I know of doing this was Sek-C Sergio. I think he was 20.

    Boxing is one of the only sports you could start as an adult and reach top level.

    Nate Campbell started boxing when he was 24 and even managed to become a champion.

    I wonder.
    How many people even try to get into professional sports at an older age?

    Tough to say, maybe long distance running or something. I don't believe it would be possible to pick up a team sport as an adult and turn pro, you need to gradually jump levels.
