Plan is to bulk up and jump weights. When I'm older I aim to be heavyweight. This depends on whether I grow any more before 20-21

By this time next year I'm aiming to be around 13 stone initially. Fully natural bulk.

I'm fighting at lightweight atm

Anyone who has gone through this?

13 stone?! 5 foot 10?

You will end up like this:

So than you were fighting.

Once you get that big you will be eating some heavier shots. You can build your body all that you want but there is very little that you can do to build your chin strong. Why your obsession for getting yourself so big? …………...Rockin'

Realistically I'm a middleweight at most. Think I was exaggerating a bit at the time. From a gym perspective, yes I could turn heavyweight but in terms of boxing middleweight is best. I'm in good shape but a bit light so I'm looking to move up to middleweight in line with my punching power. I don't want to tower over my opponents who are 5'7" or less. I know I'm a teenager but it's better to get heavier before my 20s I think

Why wouldnt you want to stay at a lower weight class and have a height and power advantage?

I agree with this.

I agree with this.

Is it not unhealthy?

Is it not unhealthy?

Depends on the genetics.
