is having first bout at 30 year old silly

silly in a good way

 

Go for it.

 

1. This has been asked 100 million thousand times before.

2. The age cutoff is 34, so you could realistically have well over 100 fights in that amount of time.

3. There's a Master's division for 34+, so it's pretty much never too late to start.

 

In England there is a age limit where amateur boxers have to retire. It used to be 34, I think. Get some bouts in there before it's too late. It's better late than never.

 

Isn't the age limit now 40?

The upper-age limit for boxers, including those competing at the Olympic Games and the Asian Games has been increased from 34 to 40 by the International Amateur Boxing Federation. The competition at the major games will now fall under the AIBA Open boxing category. The decision to increase the age limit was taken earlier this week at the AIBA Congress held in Beijing, which included 187 member associations.
Also the elite men boxers will compete without headgear for the first time during the World Championships in Kazakhstan in October. Women, junior and youth boxers will have to wear headgear in all competitions while the International Olympic Committee is yet to give clearance for men to box at the Games without the use of headgear.

 

that's a good decision to make. I never did agree with the age limit of 34 years old, I thought it was a bit too early.

 

If you like the sparring then have about 5-10 amateur boxing bouts, if you do well then stick with it, or if your happy do some white collar events and get a bit of cash then thats another option, fighting in front of a crowd is the best buzz you will ever have

 

Ron Lyle didn't fight his first pro fight until 30 and he ended up doing pretty well against Muhammad Ali and beat quite a few well-known fighters.

 

very nearly beat foreman...so very nearly....despite george blaming it on being inflicted with ring rust

 

not going for it and just leaving what would be an incredible experience for nothing would be silly. If you're ready to fight than it shouldn't matter your age, unless you exceed even the Seniors limitations. Go experience this ****!!! You will find next to nothing to compare to how real it is between those bells.

 

you can what you want do. get up and do it pal.

 

Not at all. People are competing into their fifties and sixties.
