How long did you train before your first bout?

I was 11yrs old... And VERY fit at the time.

I spent 6 weeks learning the ballet before they let me in to train with everyone else... It was then another month before I first stepped in the ring and sparred for the 1st time.

Could people post up what their records are. Or at least the results of their first fight, along with the amount of time you trained for it.

I would be curious to know that too...

We have already got a thread like that in the training forum.

I've only had 3 amateur fights and won them all on points.

Sparring matches i must have had over 150 of them. I've only ever been seriously hurt once and that was in sparring ironically.

I love boxing and wish i could give it a proper go but unfortunatly i have bills to pay and devote all my time to been a Chef.
