Good idea to drop out of High school for a boxing career?

[PRINCEKOOL]

Enjoy your time in high school 'Just set yourself certain rules such as? 'No drinking or spilling seed in women'. I suggest you don't isolate yourself from your friends also 'Find a balance'.

Spend time with friends in school, then strictly business outside of school.

High school is overrated

good luck, follow your dreams and surround yourself with the ones who love you

Bad idea quitting school is ****** if want role models look at The Klitshkos they have PHD Juan Diaz is a lawyer Juan Manuel Marquez studied to be an accounted . You have to have a back up plan unless you’re knocking everyone out in 30 seconds which I doubt

If you have to come here for vindication then you likely don't have it in you.

I boxed seriously from 8 to around 20. I finished HS, went to college, graduated, and started a side business during the whole time. Once I hit around 19 I started easing off of boxing more and more because I knew it was going to be a long rabbit hole since I did not have anyone to back me as far as promotion goes and I wasn't willing to put in more years of hard work to get played by boxing politics. So I put my attention elsewhere which I do not regret for a moment.

I have beaten several guys that are now names and champions in the lower divisions when i was younger as well as spar against really good champions in my teens. I don't want to come off as sounding harsh but if you really want to know if you got it, gets some sparring against a ranked pro or champion. There is a massive talent gap at the top. That stuff that works against randoms in the amateurs and gym does not work against some someone with actual skill and instincts.

Once you get see what it is like to actually go against someone at the top you can make the decision if you want to continue down that road. Best of luck either way.

As a HS drop out I can tell you go for it if your family supports your dream. If your family is against it I can tell you it won’t work out. To make it as a fighter you need a lot of support or the strongest of wills. I’m not sure that iron will exists in youth in 2020.

I went back got my HS degree, got my associates and got my BA and have a good career. I’m blessed to be in the right field proven during this
Pandemic as I work from home and make good money.

That would not be possible if I got into the trades.

School is definitely important and as HS drop out who went back and got his stuff together I can tell you now during this that I made the right decision getting all that paperwork.

As others have said - no.

The best fighters are also the smartest fighters.

Be smart and finish high school. After that you can make your mind up

Right on!

Same, you should already know if you got It from Training. I was giving the work to golden glovers, Olympic candidates and former contenders/ champs.

My thing was too many vices and lack of discipline meaning I didn’t have it but I do know what it takes.

Takes great athletic ability, great work ethic, a unbreakable will and iron chin.

Solid trainers, sponsorship for finances and good management.

Dude. Finish high school. It isn’t hard to get your diploma.

It's always a good idea to drop out of high school, bro. Don't let nothing get in the way of your dreams.
