Should this boxer get 30 amateur fights before turning pro ?

[WillieWild114]

There’s this heavyweight boxer I know who’s 4-1 as a amateur he’s 26 right now and hasn’t had a amateur fight in 3 years I was advising him to take atleast 7 more fights as amateur and try to go pro since he is up there in age he says he would like to have 30 amateur fights before he go pro. Yall think he is making the right decision even though he is up there in age for not being pro or is he right having 30+ plus amateur fights and going pro at the age of 31-32 ?

1 fight in 3 years, sounds like a bit of a lost cause, try mma at this stage

His trainer in the gym quit on boxing all together and has trouble finding a new one

sounds like a possible candidate for peds, go all in, bulk up while training with good advice from a suspect nutritionalist possibly, basically do a conor benn, it can work

If he's in the US he can fight like 30 fights or more in a year if he's serious about it.

I had 10 fights in like 3 months and boxing isnt even really that big in here.

Yeah but he’s a heavyweight and those fights aren’t that common

Tell him to jump in as a pro right NOW !!!
The HW div has never been more shltty.
Your friend could very well be the next HW champ

I'm a super heavyweight lol, it really depends on the area.

Besides, joe joyce started boxing at like 23 and look where he's at, even as an old man.

It'd be better if he has an amateur career or atleast some title so he wouldn't be fed to the sharks to pad someone's record.

And yeah, HW are ****, if he's good, he can go for it.

3 years ? Regardless of any excuses, he could have made something happen by now if he was that serious

Sounds like you should stop wasting your own time thinking about his boxing career because its obviously not on his mind

This is one of those "asking for a friend" type of threads if you catch my drift.

But yeah OP, you wont know until you try, just try to have a job or something...just incase.
