No matter which one(s) you pick, it's going to be difficult and you're going to get your butt kicked as a beginner. But the only way to learn how to fight is to practice fighting, so you have to pick a martial art/combat sport that realistically approximates at least one aspect of fighting.
Boxing is a great choice because the vast majority of untrained people are going to throw wild haymakers in a fight. Boxing will help you deal with that.
Judo is also a great choice because if those haymakers don't connect, the next thing most people do is try to tackle or grab you.
1 year of boxing and 1 year of judo will put you far ahead of 95% of the people you'll encounter in your everyday life. From that point you can decide whether or not you want to continue to pursue them as competitive sports.
