Is Boxing for me?

how is 20 old for boxing?

Can't go pro until 18. 2 years removed from most who turn pro.

Amateur is overrated. It helps but it's not end all be all. Specially with the way the amateurs breeds one dimensional head hunters.

Anyways. If it's something you want, you need to devote yourself to it. Get the mobility back in your shoulder. Extend the range of motion. Massage it. Stretch it.

It's basic rehab really. Maybe more specialized rehab than the sheet of paper doctors give patients. But do that routinely and your shoulder should be more comfortable.

After that just get back on the grind if that's what you really want. If the life of a boxer and being a professional is what you really want. There's nothing wrong with just dabbling or weekend warrior-ing it.

Amateur is definitly not overrated!


A guy who turns pro with 200 amateur fights got a major, a huge advantage as in comparison a guy who turned pro with like 10 amateur fights.


Not saying you canīt be a world class boxer without having a sucessfull amateur career but its really important to gain experience.
