Its Late!!! Young people accept instruction much better than adults generally speaking. They absorb everything and have a bond and trust factor with their trainer that a beginner your age won't have. If you have talent then it will show but if you have limited talent your age will stop you to progress where as a youth could grow a little more than an adult can.
Thats what I've found through the years anyway. I had a young man come to me in the early 80s from Gil Clancy who was 27 years old. He was a street fighter and full contact guy too. He wanted to be the New England Heavyweight Champ. After a few weeks I saw his dedication so I took him on but he never had the same bond that my kids who started with me at 11 years had and were then 19yrs old.
So go for it and understand that you need to open your mind and pay attention to your trainer and be honest with yourself as far as your development. Concentrate on learning skills and forget about bouts for now see how much you can improve over a years time and then you'll have a better idea of how you could progress. Good luck, Ray
