I have a question i am almost 16 and i want to start boxing. My goal is too become a pro is this possible. I know i will never become a champion but it is possible with the right mindset and 5 times training a week.

I’d say 18 is the limit to start amateur for most and it’s a hard situation for those people who need to kick on now because people can’t have amateur fights at the moment by the way Fury’s first amateur fight was at 16, you’d think he’s been boxing since he was 6 not 16
You can go to certain states and technically be a pro no matter how bad you are. Charlie Zelenoff technically had a pro match in Arkansas.
Marvin Hagler didn’t start boxing until he was 16 years old.....he went to a party and got beat up in front of all his friends...by a guy who was a boxer ....so he decided to become a boxer
No, of course not, but self doubt might be a barrier. And the mindset really should be 24/7, merely training five times a week is probably not going to cut it.
Bernard Hopkins learned how to box while he was in prison ....and he became as skilled as any fighter that ever did it
