will training in martial arts hinder my boxing training if I plan on doing both seriously?

Im short but I carry alot of weight. In about 7 years I went from 135 to my current 170. The thing is I still carry it pretty much the same. I wanted to know if this is going to hinder my boxing training. Im 5'6''.

Im not planning on going pro. Just taking it serious enough to fight a coupla amateur fights every year, a hobby.

you wanna do both martial arts AND boxing??i dont think that will be a good idea..

and as far as your weight goes try to lose some bcuz 170 pounds and your 5'6 i dont think dat would b very healthy.

and your height..size dont matter, skills pay the bills

Total weight has much less to do with health than the TYPE of weight. If he's 5'6" 170 and built like say, Jeff Monson, then he's probably plenty healthy. If it's all fat, then no it's not healthy. Since the original poster did not indicate his body fat % or some other indicator of how the weight is distributed, it would be wrong to blindly tell him to lose weight.
