    Hi mate

    I have done some sums for you, and Im saying you should be looking at supermiddleweight/ lightheavyweight/cruiserweight for now if the below body fat is correct, find out your body fat and you will find out where you should be fighting for optimum effect.

    Here are my calculations (these are going to be WAY off if the description of you is wrong, im just guessing your 30% body fat, you could be a lot less or maybe more)


    Ok

    Weight 225
    Body Fat 30%
    Body Fat LBS (weight, divided by 100, times BF% = ) 67.5
    Lean Body Mass (Weight - Body Fat LBS) = 157.5 (call it 179)
    Desired Body Fat % = 12% (this is up to you, you can get lower)
    Desired Weight = 179lbs (see below for the sum to this one)

    Ok, from 1 minus the percentage of body fat you want, so for 12 its 1- 0.12 = 0.88

    Then, you take your lean body mass and divide it by 0.88 = 157.5/0.88 = 178.97

    Now I have put the sums up for you once you find out your Body Fat % then we can really get to work with your routine, diet, sums, expenses, motivation and goals etc etc

    If you need more help PM me

    Love

    Good stuff Meunouk

    As far as fighting goes I'd get into it as soon as I felt comfortable and was able to compete, heavy might not be your target weight class but if you can compete why not have some bouts.
    When God said to the both of us "Which one of you wants to be Sugar Ray?" I guess I didnt raise my hand fast enough
