Trust me my body is a full blown man ***** body lol I can still fight but I feel tired and weak constantly all the time. I need to get lean before I start boxing All them pizzas got me fat as fukk mayneee Hopefully I'll stick to my word and get into boxing and let all of you guys know
See I want my little brother to start training aswell He's 8 soon to be 9 I want h8m to get the hang of it early so when he's older he'll be a machine hopefully IA
Why do people have this impression that unless you start boxing at the age of 5 you're going to be **** starting later in life? Just because somebody hasn't won a particular title after starting at whatever age doesn't mean its impossible, you could be the first. If you want to box then box. Age has **** all to do with anything. Train ****ing hard, train correctly, learn and win.
Agreed. There are a lot of guys out there with little to no skill. If you are in solid shape and have decent fundamentals, you can start at 30 and beat a string of low level guys.
Do it. I started boxing when I was 21 and it was the best decision I've ever made. I'm never going to do anything special but I love the training, love preparing for a fight, and love getting under the lights in the small hall amateur shows! Dedicate yourself to it whilst ensuring it remains fun and take it from there man. Have goals, but don't set yourself unrealistic targets or be to hard on yourself. Enjoy the ride!
It's been done before at even later ages but generally those who had the most success were elite level athletes transitioning from other sports.
OMG 23??? maybe lawn bowling or horseshoes. But boxing? leave that to the people who started at 9 years old.
Hopkins started age 24... Joshua started age 18... No one can say how far you can go in boxing its all up to you Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
It depends what your goals are mate. Obviously its a big ask to start now and make an impact as a pro, but not unheard of either as others have said, Sean dodd for instance started in his mid twenties and is having a decent career as a pro. BUT if your goal is to have a go at boxing, have a novice amatuer fight, go through the experience of training, making weight, fighting etc no way are you to old. I had my first amateur fight at 30 and cureently have a twat of a record of won one lost Four!! (they were all robberies honest). Im never gonna set the world alight but im a boxing fan and enjoy competing, its about what an achievable goal for you is.
Audley Harrison turned pro at 30. Amnat Ruenroeng had his pro debut after 30. Rocky Marciano also had a late start. Age doesn't matter, its the work, dedication and commitment that counts.
