You’re never too old. The only problem is the older you get the harder it gets. If you want to do it, do it. It’s up to you.

I started at 21 and by the time i was 25, I was two times state gold medalist. Won my 1st when i was 23, second in 25. Please, don't let age stop you. TRY IT. JUST TRY IT. Ken Norton started when he was 24 and beat Muhammad Ali... GIVE IT A SHOT.

I'm 60 and I can't find any other 60 year old to take me on, I'm not bragging, I just don't understand why their is not another 60 year old some where in the world to step up

I am turning 32 this month, but I been training since I was 20 and running 7 miles to 10 miles a day since and even participated in a boxing gym with real professionals for 4 years and got my ass kicked everyday and got sharp just by showing up every day. I’m talking about face busted in black eye talking about “let’s get it” so I know I have the “never give up mentality “ and one thing I learned about myself is that even if guys had more experience it didn’t matter because I was faster and relentless and destroy you before me. Literally starving and hungry even cleaned the gym after hours to pay my gym fees. Going in to a boxing gym or any combat sport takes your mind to a dark place a radiant abyss where men meet themselves

Im 28.. non pro.. saying to myself now I’m gonna be fighting until my body gives, and not the age i reach 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 🥊

Rocky marciano the undefeated started training boxing at 23. Age is just a number

I just turned 23 and I will be a professional boxer and I'll come back to this video. In two years just u wait.

if you put your heart and soul in boxing then age is just a number

I’m 22 years old, I started about 5-6 months ago. The first day I went to the gym, I sparred (I had already trained other combat sports, been in street fights and been teaching myself the technique through KZfaq) and my coach looked at me and told me ‘you can be champ one day’. And every since then I haven’t looked back, getting ready to have my first amateur match. Mind you guys, I have always excelled at sports. I was a 3 sport athlete and went on to play college ball. With that being said, I still feel fresh. I workout about 5-6 days a week and I’ve picked the sport up fairly quickly. Just do it. Everything seems like a long shot until you’re in there really doing it. Then it starts to feel like you’re unstoppable. Good luck to everybody, the next world champion IS in these comments somewhere 🥊

Don't let age stop you. Deontay Wilder started boxing when he was 21 years old

At 55, I’ve been training for 40+ years. I still feel lightning quick and am sure I hit harder than ever. But I don’t recover as quickly from a workout. Where I could train six days a week twenty years ago, I now find it takes me two days to recover fully. If you want to compete, go for it! The years fly by so get off your butt and do it.

Anyone who gives up on their dream didn’t deserve the victory to begin with

Too many people are overthinking this and making up obstacles because of when others started training. Most athletes that retire or stop competing at the same level do that because they are worn down from all of the years of training and competing, not because of their age. And don't judge you're abilities after you're sore all of the time when you just start or just return to training because that happens to everyone at any age.

I know I’m the type to out best someone’s 10 year work, I’m 20 and starting, pure discipline and consistency, I’m gonna go for it, all out.

Started training at 38. Won my masters debut that year. I'm 40 now and I spar with 20yr olds. A couple guys that just got their pro cards. Not saying I whoop them, but I belong in the ring with them. Wish I would have fallen in love with the sport sooner.

Bernard Hopkins went pro at 28 and retired at 51.look at his legacy !👌can’t tell me age is a factor when it’s not !some people can still feel young etc at 35 and still be moving like they in they 20’s like manny pac!hes 40 and still move like he 25.people just wanna down other people to make them think they can’t become a boxer just because of the age start ..if age mattered in boxing the people that started at 20 something wouldn’t have did it if they thought they age mattered …I started at 26 years old I just turned 27.and will be going amateur this year or might just skip amateur cause I believe in myself and what I was gifted at all this time !My idol sugar ray Robinson inspired me !he the reason why I do this and he the reason I don’t give a fuck what nobody says !

This is nuanced, realistic and motivating at the same time. Thanks! I'm 25 and will pick it up soon and try to win a local fight once :)

You don't stop boxing because you get old, you get old because you stop boxing and having fun. ✌️✌️

Or you can be a famous KZfaqr and transition into boxing like the Paul brothers hahaha

straight out facts that right things depends on how hard you work.

Great advice on when to be born!

I'm aiming to start amateur boxing and see how I do at it and go from there, not expecting any results but I think I realistically have a chance at winning golden gloves in my province at least so that's my goalpost. Been watching previous GG matches to see what the competition is like and will be rejoining a gym when lockdown allows here. Meanwhile i've been sparring my roommate every few days, doing drills, watching technique vids like yours, and keeping my fitness up. ' I'm 6'1" 148 lb. ambidextrous with a 76 inch reach, I come from a dancing background and started karate age 8 or 9, so boxing footwork is like childs play to me and I grew up a farmer using hand tools so my endurance and strength is something most can't exceed, except elite atheletes. I've had a vegan diet half my life, never smoked or got addicted to anything but pot BUT my real secret is that I've almost physically died 3 times, so my level of fear of danger is exponentially lower than most people, even fighters...I know I sound full of myself and I have a lot to prove but I'm gonna go for it, at least at the am level. I know at the pro's its more about how marketable you are than how good

This is what I tell people that try to say you’re too old or you’re never too old to be a boxer or MM a fighter: if you can join the military in your 20s and early 30s, run up and down the hills and get shot at, can definitely do close combat, then you can be a professional boxer in your 20s and 30s

I’m 34. I’d never go pro but I’d love to register for the masters after my next birthday

Started training MMA at 17 went until 21 then joined the army started drinking partying lost track of time and forgot about my dreams forgot who I was but now I’m back im 27 been training 6 times a week and I feel stronger than ever I plan to go as far as I can in boxing until I the wheels fall off

Thanks for sharing your knowledge and the cold hard truth. I'm 29 and I do know that it's too old. I do have experience in Muay Thai in my past but there is a 11 years gap of only doing fitness. But I will give it my everything and who knows, we'll see where this journey takes me. To the hall of fame or knocked out in the hospital bed hahaha.

I’m 20 yo and I have experience in boxing and Taekwondo. I’m really have an urge to go to a boxing gym and give it my all to my personal trainer!

Starting at 26... Almost 27 But I'll go far quick.

Thank you for answering there Questions.

I started at 10 yrs old. Several titles. Years of sparing the best. Raked in Michigan with my brother. Our dad trained us our whole life. Spent 10 yrs in the amateurs. Traveling all over the country. Stopped at 19-20 yrs old. I’m 30 now. I want to start back and go pro..

Turned 18 last week. I really want to start boxing but because of corona I couldn't. So I train focusing on endurance from running and I have been doing calisthenics for 2 years. I hope I can join boxing club soon and start my grind to amateur.

im 33 and i want to start training and maybe compete while i can, i have a good deal of street experience and some training, and I always had a knack for it, id rather die trying than regret not, its never too late, if what people say is gonna stop you i wouldnt step in a cage or ring.

Just the question I had in my head I'mma 19....thanks!!

I’m 15 and I love boxing, a lot of people have told “I’m a natural” but I once asked a boxing coach because I thought 15 was a good age but he said I was starting late so it honestly made feel down because a lot of the other people at the gym had started since toddlers. What do you guys think?

Genuinely curious. I’m 23, I had kickboxed for 4 years, stopped when I was 16. Is it still possible to pick up boxing and give it a go. I’d be a heavyweight class I’m 6”4 240pounds. In years to come is it possible to be a pro. As I know heaps of heavyweights actually picked up the sport in there 20s

It may sound stupid but will this give me an advantage in boxing, I have trained in Muay Thai for 3-4 years (coaches still wouldn't put me in their list to compete) and I really wanted to compete to see what level I am at, so I am deciding whether I should make a full transition to boxing and give it a shot to see if I can get the opportunity to compete, I am currently 25 would this be possible?

I've been training taekwondo for years and work on my hands all the time and I pick apart amateur boxers Muay Thai and some pros tell me I'm so good there surprised I'm from taekwondo maybe I'm natural I guess I did fight alot on the street when I was younger that's why I'm gonna go pro in Ontario and do my best I've always kept in shape I'm a heavy weight and I'm out matching middle weights in speed but it has to do with my footwork I have sports respect for all fighters and martial artist

I grew up around mma, particularly kung fu, bjj and muay thai. But my boxing is super sloppy. But i really have a dream about becoming a pro boxer. Ive saved money and i am debating moving to mexico for a year to try some boxing gyms and see what happens. Is that a bit far fetched ???

You are telling the truth. I’ve been coaching for 30 years. A lot of people ask me the same question. I tell them it’s not going to happen. Boxing is a serious business that requires the utmost dedication and patience. Unless you have an incredible talent and more time than others, you will not be a world champion. And I have trained and learned from world champions.

I’m 20 years old I’ve been boxing (well kickboxing) since I was 18 they weren’t long session as travel was an issue but he said I had potential I’m not gonna wait anymore I’m gonna be a heavyweight champion or fail but at least I did what I love doing

I’m 16 finna turn 17 and I’m a lil nervous but tbh i don’t fear the competition but the dream is to go big time

Im 17 years old preparing and planning to compete in amateurs next year.in 4 years do you think that is enough time to build up and become a pro?my coach tells me im progressing at a good rate and im learning pretty quickly and so do other people in the gym.i feel and know i can do it but at the same time i just started a few months ago but its a burning passion that keeps growing and im still learning so what you think about it?

Been boxing for about 14 years. I did not have much amateur experience due to my age and weight. When I was 16 years old I weighed 102 pounds. It was extremely difficult to get matched up in the Amateur ranks. My 14 years boxing experience was me mostly getting beat up by bigger guys lol. I stopped boxing at age 23. I decided to get a career, which I did. Now I just turned 30 and I am thinking about getting in the ring and see where it takes me. At 5 8 weighing around 156 pounds I am thinking about fighting at 140-147, still undecided.

Thanks for being real 💯

Dude, love what you’ve got to say but please get either some sound absorption in that room or at least a lavelier mic because the natural slap back echo on your voice from all those hard surfaces detracts from your otherwise great content.

I'm 28 and have been boxing since I was 8, but have never competed. I'm seriously thinking about starting after everything goes back to normal after this virus.

I’m hopefully turning pro this year I’m 25 years old And I had 3 fights and stuff but I started when I was 17 years old

I’m 29, am faktard old for my dream, in my small town where I grow up there is no boxing gym or any boxing influencer when I was a little boy. It just started when Manny Pacquiao hit the ring and outbox every one. I was so amazed by his speed and punches. I dreamed to be like him but its too late. Not like where he came from at age 9 he sells bread and play boxing for living.

I'm 31 and feeling like I should go for it. I've always said I wanted to do MMA and trained for it a bit when I was younger but didn't take it seriously, thinking I could make money doing something else I liked for the same money. I got nothing to lose and I always have hit hard

See I feel like at the age of 23 I think you still have chance as long as you are naturally talented in the sport I started skating at 19 and I have been praised for the effort and skill I have acquired within the sport I now think I got enough physical aspects to maybe try it however this would be determined by my boxing attributes within the first year if it doesnt improve the the point that people think I'm naturally talented I will give up but it the opposite occurs I will se anyone that is trying to be pro watch out for the name davies the ace cuz if everything turns out the way i want it i will see you in the ring from today on i will train for my dream this may be the beginning of a legend if fait is on my side

I honestly thank you for this video. I havent finished it. about 70% in. You gave it to me the way I was needed to be told it. I watched mike Tyson's career summary just now. and I think I could maybe do it. I'm 511 218 not fat

I'm from Malaysia, been training in boxing since I was 26, I'm 29 this year, and I'm planning to move to the UK and turning pro there. Do I want to win a championship? Sure, if the opportunity arises, why not? But Honestly, I just wanna have a professional fighting record, maybe 10-20 fights? That's all I want. Hey, at least having a professional fighting record gives you a sweet resume, haha

I always wanna be a boxer since i was like 13 but i didn't have chance cause i was shy and boxing coach is hard to find here at my country im 20 now and i will start my boxing carrer from now in i just order a gloves ive been self training since i was 13 i wish everything will go out ok

I'm 28 right now, I've been in boxing for years, but my problem is my lack of discipline that's why I still don't turn into a pro. Any advice

I started boxing when I was 15 but I alwaus was on and off in sad I wish I never stoppped.. but I do workout still

Can I start real training boxing at 17 I train by myself when I was 12 -15 but I stop can I start again

bro I am 20 going to be 21 soon I think I can do boxing I like the sport . I want to start training I have no experience I want to know can I do boxing part time competitive because my parents won't support me in any sport, I want to know if I can do that side beside a job?

Im 17 now and i started a month ago. By the olympics that have been postponed to july 2021 i will have just turned 18. Well now i got a year to turn into an olympic boxer for a perfect career start lol.

I'm 20 and from village area..so I didn't went to gym even for once in my life bt want to be a boxer (don't even know the basic rules) and I know it's impossible still hope I can, one day bt idk how? When?

Im 16 and i have some boxing knowledge i’ve been to the gym before but never consistent... i wanna start now and actually take it serious and compete in amateur matches how long do you think i need until i become pro? im willing to work as hard

Roberto "the iron machine" Asis.. 27yrs old 200pounds conditioning to 150pounds Will be the next welterweight champion of the world. Copythis

Thought he was Pacquio and speaking English very good

I’m 15 and I wanna start sparing and train for boxing is it ok for me to do so?

Can I start my boxing at age of 20? If OK how?

I'm 24 and I started boxing last year but then uni came and then coronavirus happened... I won't turn "pro" but I like the amateur/gym bouts and sparring, and training! What do you think?

I was wondering I have been going to all levels boxing classes and I am 19 will be going into amateur competition soon is it late do you think?

Matthan "D" Bang-asan! Remember the name!

How good do you think I could get by Only boxing at home? like im not trying to really compeate at boxing but i just want to know

i started boxing at age 13 and stopped at age 15. im 17 now, is it too late to start boxing and make a career out of it? i know its going to be a struggle but im capable of doing it.

If i start boxing when i was 14 do i have a chance at being world champ? Im still 14 i started half year ago

I'm 31 now and always had a passion for boxing and facing the fact that I'm to damn old now to start to even get anywhere grates on me

I'm 33 years old and lost over 95 pounds. I've always looked up to Mike Tyson and Rocky Balboa although fictional, as the archetypes of the athlete I want to become. I follow their workouts and lifestyle and little did I know that would eventually get me into boxing. I learned that there was a 54 year-old who got Golden Gloves so I figured at 33, my chances are as good as his.

I started karate at 7 years old I stopped at 8 then when I was 12 I started karate again, then when I was 14 I started boxing and kickboxing, now im 15 and im focused more on boxing is it possible for me to turn professional at 18??

I started at 15 and I'm 20 and I'm hungry to get that world title

Well if your goal is to go pro and get a tittle shot you shouldn’t be drinking, clubbing or bullshiting anyway you must keep your eye on the mission. You can do all that later

How would a hard-working boxer routine look like? Also, is two boxing sessions (each lasting 2 hours) too much?

For those that wants to be a pro, age 40 is kinda like the limit for those that want to become competitive fighters. After the age 40, you can still compete but you won't be able to compete in the main division where all the young guys are at. Age 40 and up is for master division where you are fighting with older guys. So this means that before you turn 40, you should have a good amatuer background that make you look marketable for someone to promote you into a pro. The bottom line is, if you want to turn pro then you gotta have amateur background and experience built up by the time you hit 40 and hope that someone turn you into a pro. So you want to start at least in your 30s and get some fights under your belt. If you start in your late 30s, it would most likely too late.

I just want to learn boxing, I am 21 total beginner

im 12yrs old i just joined boxing and i want to become a champion however i have seen other kids my age who are beasts

I'm 14 but I feel like I'm too old to start boxing. Everyone else at the club I visited started when they were 7 and 8

I’m 16 I wanna start traing boxing and become pro one day. I get into a lot of fights on a regular basis in the street but I wanna focus on actual boxing can I still go pro if I start at 16??

expertboxing At age 24, would it be too late to start boxing if you want to be a very good boxer, a all time great level, with no amatuer experience. Would there be any way I could reach the level of Floyd, Duran or Pacquaio.

I am 13 right now and I want to go pro when I’m older is this too young

I’m 16 going to turn 17 I want to be a Pro Boxer but RN I’m solo without a coach because of Covid

I love the sport of boxing I boxed for two years but my gym closed I’m 16 is it still worth going for it

im a 27 year old women, is it still ok for me to learn or even.. compete?

You have a lot of athletes that become professional and they weren’t even pursuing the athletic career that they were going for. Some NFL players used to be basketball players or baseball players, and they only spent a couple of years in college and made a pro. Don’t let nobody tell you you can’t be a professional athletic fighter and you are in your 20s

ayyy i will try anyway

Ima be a future world champ and ufc champ I’m coming

Is it Illegal to learn Martial arts before Being a Boxer??? TBH I was also planning to learn Tiger Style to block punches or is that also illegal

Could someone that’s been an athlete all their life’s and has above average fighting skills that’s 28 would that be possible

Can it be possible for someone to start box at 12 year olds and become a champion at a grown up age?

can I learn boxing at 13?

I'm 30 and want to learn boxing for self defense, is this realistic?

Good vid I’m 16 I know all the basics of boxing and started a club for 3 weeks before the current lockdown I feel like if I built my stamina up more I could compete easily on amateurs just to get your opinion I wanna become a world champion one day I’m 16 so say I start fighting amateur in 9 months when I’m 17 and built a good fitness level up after 5 years I’ll be 22 and turning pro at 22 is a good age so I think I can make it big what you think? 17 a good age to start amateur fighting like you said in the video

Sir, I am 27 years old, what can I become professional boxer,

Back in the day it was 23 and you wore not pro yet it would be to late. Prime is 22 to 30 past your prime.

Thanks for your reply. I will become the best fighter in the world. I mention my name... AB

Im 15 and love the sport boxing but don’t know if it’s too late for me to be able to become a future champion any advice anyone?

I am 19 if I start learning now can I become professional
