    Do whatever makes you happiest, but there's also family to consider at that age if your married or have kids or whatever. Banking on cashing in on a boxing career at that age is probably not a great bet.

          just get on with it
          who knows where you'd end up, maybe you might be the next champ of the world or something
          but everyday we sit thinking is another day wasted, so start them runs, start the boxing training and all is gravy

            29 isn't too late, you still have many years ahead of ye for boxing. However be careful how high you'll set your goals. Bouncing back from some sort of failure might get tricky as time flies by.

            The great advantage for being 29 though is the capacity to look at things a little different than younger boxers. I'd use that life experience and ability to analyze better. If it will give ye a sense of acomplishment at the end of the day without sacrificing too much why the hell not, go for it.
