1st fight coming up need advice please read

175 is pretty high. Most fighters in that weight class are 5'11+ and typically more than 6'. It's likely however that you will be fighting someone who is not very good, so if you are better the height won't matter much.

 

At 5'9 you can do it but would probably be better suited for a lower weight. Though I say if that is where you are comfortable now you are not alone look at Toney he is your height at heavyweight and Dwight Muhammad Qawi was only 5'6 at best btw good luck

 

If your a quick boxer it's gonna help massively to have a reach advantage to go with your jab. If your fighting at 175 and your 5'9", you won't have this.

 

amateur or pro?

 

Diaconu is about 5'9 and fights at lhw

 

I never officially fought. But my advice would be to do what you do best and use that quickness to get in and out and basically dictate the fight. Make him miss and make him pay.

 

height shouldent matter if you bob and weave,plenty of movement,fast hands,**** look at tyson.
im 5.8 and boxed at 11stone when fit,and 12stone when unfit,but still did fine ish!
