by taking boxing seriously i mean training with a view to entering competitions and taking it as far as i possibly can.
I recently turned 18 and when i move away to university i am planning to join a boxing gym that i have found near my university.
i have been trining for boxing for a few months now at my gym but it is not a boxing specific gym so i can only really train my body and use things such as a speed ball and the heavy bag i have at home, i do not currently have a trainer or any good sparring partners but this will change soon.
i do have a martial arts history i have been doing karate since i was 6 and entering under 16s competitions since i was 8 so i think this would give me a solid base to work from i.e i have good natural reflexes and handspeed and my punching teqnique is good as i have been doing it since i was 6 lol.
bearing my background in mind and the fact i would absolutely devote myself to this as i have fallen in love with the sport,could any of the more experienced posters tell me whether i have started too late to realistically have a decent future in the sport.
Thanks
