I want to become a boxer, am I too old?

[Nosferatu]

I'm making the transition from bodybuilding to boxing and I know in the end asking am I too old? is an open ended question because you are truly as old as you feel but I'm 25 and I want to become a pro boxer

I'm 6 I'm 205 lbs 74" reach now but I want to slim down to 160-170 and box as a middleweight....I'm in great shape the only thing I lack is the skills and of course the "boxing" endurance. I realize its a totally different ballgame from bodybuilding.

I'm in Phoenix, Az if anyone know any good contact out here it would be much appreciated, ty.

all i can say is try it! maybe you should aim for crusierweight or light heavy first!
do lots of endurance work and join a gym. most of te best boxers around today are 30+

Someone needs to post up that list of boxers who started late...

I think Marciano started at 24 and Nate Campbell started at 26/27?

It's never too late.

You will probably need to lose a big amount of your muscle depending on how big you are.

Having large muscles can lead to stamina problems.

Matt Skelton turned pro at the age of 35. He also won the WBU belt.

Thats why I want to get down to 160-170
