    Is 22 too old to start boxing?

    Hi, Im female age 22. I am starting boxing this week, I'm just wondering am I too old to start? the gym im joining is an old school one and I know of it because its where my brother used to train. I know some of the basics but at some point I would like to get in the ring but I think at 22 am I too old to train to a good enough standard to fight?

    Cheers

    Fight in what sense?

    You're certainly not too old to spar and compete.

        But srsly. 22 is not too old to fight. Sergio Martinez started boxing at the age of 20.
