Hey, I started to training in 14 years old in boxing and before few days ago i joined mma and im sure that Which is what I want to do in my life, im doing mma and boxing and jiujitsu 6 days in week and i want to be mma pro fighter when i will be older. most of the mma pro fighters start mma or boxing at 12 years old and i think that its too late.... 3 years of training its enough to make debut fight? Somebody in my training club is 16.7 years old and he already did debut and im so jealous. i think he started to training in 12 years old or 7 im not sure. is only 16 and he started his amateur career 1-0. all day im training and watching stuff and its in my blood!. you think i can make debut fight after 4 years of training?(ask the coach) i want to start fight so much, im workout so hard for it
How old are you? I'm thinking 18, you started when you were 14 and trained for 4 years?? That's not too old, just keep progressing at a good pace and see where it takes you. Good luck dude.
Dwight Qawi and Ron Lyle never boxed at all until about 20. Qawi didn't turn pro until 25. He ended up as world champion in two weight classes. Lyle went pro at 30. He was never a champion, but he gave Muhammad Ali and George Foreman very difficult fights. There's other examples too. Being a bit older than the average age when people start doesn't mean it's impossible.
