    I started at 21 . It took me about a year to get comfortable. I had my first fight July 11. I won my first 4 fights and loft a decision in a final in a tournament a couple weeks ago. So I'm 4 and 1. There's a guy I used to train with who started at 24 and has been nationally ranked in the top 10 a few times throughout his amateur career

    seriously. Do you need that much equipment? The only thing you really need are handwraps, a skipping rope, running shoes, boxing shoes, one head gear, 12 oz gloves, a mouthpiece and sparring gloves. Later on before competition get a kidney belt.

    This should all be under 300$. and thats getting really good stuff.

    I'm 33, and started back in June. I do regret not starting younger, plus I won't get the chance to fight competitively. I train 4 nights a week, and absolutely love it.

    Its the hardest training i've ever done but I do feel so much healthier, look in a lot better shape, lost a couple of stone & have so much more energy. This, along with the new skills i'm learning has given my self-confidence a much needed boost.

    I think further down the line I will have a look at going down the White Collar Boxing route, just as a means to compete. Would have loved to compete on the Amateur route, but left it too late (i'm 34 in April).

    I guess what i'm trying to say is that its never too late to start, even if you don't become a world champion. If you put the work in then you get some good rewards back, whatever your age!
