Is it possible to have a successful boxing career if you started in your late 20s?

Well now im 25 years old i have a bad history with smoking and alcohol and i started boxing for 5 months now, i train hard run 3 times a week i cut all my bad habits and i was wonder if I stick to the training and maybe turn pro at 29 is there a chance to have successful career and maybe be champ, knowing im ready to risk everything for it?

What weight are you? usually Cruoisers and heavyweights can be good later. It is alot hard the smaller the weight class for some reason.

many great fighters have started at 12 and been monsters at 22 so u will be awesome at 35 for a year or two, go for it!!

I fella I know did it. Sean “Masher” Dodd. He came to a gym I used to train at Ventura ABC in his mid 20’s after a history with drugs, mixing with the wrong crowd etc. It completely turned his life around, he turned pro in his late 20’s and went on to win the commonwealth title.

So yeah it can be done... it’s not easy though.

Well I don't get tired easily, I think i was not so bad, not so good either because I didn't have much experience

Make sure you get a trainer who can teach you head movement, rolling with punches and parrying . Also good advice work hard on refining your jab. The jab if it is good and used as a weapon not a range finder can keep youi in fights. You have to mix up cadences, speed, and tendencies though.

LMAOOO.

You’d become a decent journeyman at best.
