What's the average time before people usually have their first amateur fight, dont give me some "WELL SOMEONE I KNOW HAD IT IN 3 HOURS OF STARTING" .. whats the NORMAL length of time before someone has their first bout from taking up boxing?

I fought after about 3 months. I started sparring after about 1 month, then about a month later my trainer asked me if i wanted to fight and i said hell yea! and we got a fight in the next show. Ive been kickin ass and takin names ever since:boxing: lol

but from what ive seen around my gym, for the kids that actually stick around this long (which is rare) probably about 5-6 months.

I took me a good 3 months of ~15 miles a week of running to feel conditioned to where I don't gas

I've had two trainers, both good. One will put you in the ring after two months with two days a week training, and the one I'm with now says six days a week for between 12-24 months.

But the local fighters around me suck ****. I'm embarrassed to watch them sometimes. They might be fit and throw lots of punches but so do the guys outside my local pub after midnight.

I don't think it really matters. It just depends on what you want to get out of it. I wanna be a good fighter, not just have numbers to my name. Also, where I'm from the people I'll personally have to fight will be experienced on an international level so I need to match that with skill.

I ve had two trainers and I waited almost a full year before I had my first official fight. Although I will say depending on the talent and skill level hell you could do it in 6 months or less. All up to the boxer I think.

Depends how good you are, how quick you develop as a fighter. Some novices need working on harder than others, which is not a bad thing. Just don't want to be rushing into a fight learn your trade in the gym and studying fights, becuase when ya get rushed in to quick thats how amature's get hurt just take time and enjoy ya training!
