    Am I too old to start boxing?

    I'm 24 years old now and want to start boxing but i also want to make something of it so will be 100% dedicated do you think it's too late for me to ever become pro?

    I've always been interested in boxing and my dad showed me a few stances, other then that I have no experience at all lol please be realistic as possible (sorry if my grammar sucks btw).

    Na man go for it

    But b realistic

    Are you looking to go pro, get a few amateur fights under ur belt or keep fit and spar??


    P.s. I starting at 25 till 30. Didn't want to go pro or even have any amateur fights but I did want to train and spar. If anything it' boosts confidence, keeps u fit and ur aggression in check and u give a lot more respect to what the pros do in the ring

      Not too old, but at 24 years old you need realistic expectations. Go to a gym and they'll let you know whats up.

      Not much a bunch of guys on a boxing forum can do for you besides troll you/tell you what you already think about yourself boxing.

        There are pros with like 6-54 records. There's nothing stopping you.

          Go pro mate but also for the fitness and sparring, I just wanted advice from people who actually box/know what there talking about lol I just get a bit put off when I see all these pro's started really young and I just thought to myself "even if I work extremely hard because of my age I'm ****ed" meh just a nagging doubt.

            Go for it. You can do anything that you put your mind to. Dedicate yourself and the rest will fall in place.
            Don't listen to these keyboard warriors on here.

              Nah man, go for it. Even if you don't make it as a pro, you can become a coach. Don't let nothing stop you.

                  It all is up to you, why don't you tell us if you are too old or not. After all, we don't have to endure ****, you'll be the one putting in all of the work. So how bad do you want it?
