Do it. I'm 37, been boxing for 2 years. Hope to have my first am bout (Master Division) this year. I've done 3 charity smokers, though, and destroyed my opponent in my last one (RTD.) My entire gym is telling me I'm ready. I think you'll never think you're ready (I'd like to train another five years first, myself), but when enough people tell you you're ready, you probably are.

A guy at my gym was 0-3 after 3 years of hard training and a year of amateur bouts, and I couldn't figure out if he was the most optimistic or the most insane guy I've ever met. But he just won his first bout. He's now 1-3 and you should see the grin he carries around right now.

Do it.

yeah, when u get in the ring u feel the rush, just like tom berenger says in Sniper...it feels great to win a fight, i'm over the age limit for the ams in canada ( where i live there's no masters div) but i wish i could fight one more time. i would do it again once more if i could... feel the rush

theres no age limit for amateurs in canada.....

yes there is, my local gym ( alberta ) kicks u out at 34

[arnoldming]

there is age limit on other countries?

[West24]

there is no age limit in canada, you can fight amateurs all you want, its just that if you win nationals, you cant compete internationaly if youre over 34.

****, i'm tempted to move to calgary if they follow those rules. in my town there's one boxing gym and they only want kids, i was told after 34 you're done. but that might also be because the coaches are rednecks

its not true, i just personally had a conversation with my coach about it like a week ago, and ive seen 40 year olds fight on an amateur card.
