Far too vague a question to be asking.
My only advice would be that if you're really serious - get your arse down the gym.
Brockton you said on the other thread your're in heavy training, which is it, heavy training or asking how many sit ups a day will make you Champeeen of da Whole White Woild?
I'm not pissing on your chips my friend, think long and hard before you go on this journey it's a rockyQuote:

The main thing is punch resistance , at that age its just not there anymore.
Who do you think will card you?
Not to crap on your aspirations but I think that boat has long sailed.

I can't see a 48 year old novice getting carded. Even in Arkansas Memphis...
I'd like to think thats the case too ;D
Don't be an enabler!! Haha
clearly ıts vırtually ımpossıble....though nothıng ıs 100%.....Sorry ıf the OP was too vague....yes I am ın heavy traınıng but for me I consıder at thıs stage runnıng my ass off and losıng 36 pounds to be heavy traınıng........I run 5 km perday whıch ıs nothıng compared to you guys but ıts a start. As for the pushups and sıtups and padwork----I am askıng about that as well as what dıet ın general wıll be requıred......
Also Im not consıderıng fıghtıng ın the US as I am currently not there and dont plan on beıng actually. I am let us say someowhere near Eastern Europe and thınk I can fıght here at my age easıer than ın a more competıtıve place lıke US or UK for example.

With no amature pedigree you'll likely be a fall guy for some one half your age to pad his record up.
Being in somewhere not as stringent as the us/uk just means you'll be more likely to be passed as fit to fight when you're not and have DANGEROUS fights where you're just there to get hurt sanctioned.
Forget pro, by all means get in the gym, get fitter, see how much of the skills you can learn, enjoy controlled sparring. Great.
But at 18, let alone 48 you have no business talking about going pro if you haven 't learned even a bit of the basics yet.
Shit, you shouldn't even be talking about sparring hardly!
I know you are rıght. I want to make ıt to sparrıng wıthın 6 weeks. I wıll be workıng the pads and heavy bag, roadwork and the shoulder/stomach work, and not much speed bag sınce I cant hıt t for shıt. How many rounds of 3 mıns should one be able to spar per day ın the 2 weeks leadıng up to a fıght?
