Turning 22 in the summer only a month in. Aspirations to compete plan to do atleast a year amateurs.
Too late to become a name in boxing?
Maybe a shot at a title?
Make a decent living?
Yes, I know I messed up on my title.

If you would take my advice you wouldn't consider turning pro at any age. Box as an amateur if you feel like it, and you can quit whenever you wish. Be careful whom you spar with. If a pro, taking money will make you feel obligated to get your teeth knocked out to gratify nameless spectators who pay a few dollars to see it. You'd have to be very good also lucky to make a decent living from it.
Otherwise it's a great physical exercise.
I have other reasons also. You've asked advice and I've given mine.

Pacquaio started pro at 16 weighing less than 100 lbs when he fought at 106. 25 is too old but if you good and talented you better start now.
If you have natural talent and are willing put in the time training and especially sparring the best you can find. Well then age should not be a factor. 22 is still not very old. Boxers like Chavez jr and tommy hearns' son took up boxing late.
It all depends on how skilled you are,and how serious you take it. If you plan to compete at a higher weight class you'll probably find it easier.
tbh If your having to ask this question, you probably don't believe in yourself enough to go far however I wish you good luck mate, go for it, you only live once.
