Thanks for the replies. Along with not being physically ready for it, I don't think I'd have enough self-confidence to go into the ring for at least another 2 years (given I continue with 3 days of hard training with an instructor and 3 days training on my own per week). That would put me at about 28 years old before my first amateur fight - does that sound too old for the first time to step into the ring? Also, do most amateur boxers (not counting the kids in Thailand that are simply thrown into the ring) step in with at least 3 years experience, or are there a lot of the 6 month type of fighters that Terry is talking about? |
