Is 23 to old to start boxing?

[sourpuss]

Technically no. But unless you going to the full effort into it I would advise against it. My cousins are 9 and 12 years old. There just clowning fools so far. Key words are so far. But there in the gym 6 days a week. There in the process of moving to home studies. There committed. Ad it's paying off

You'd advise against it?
What if he just wants to learn and compete as an amateur for a few years? He's plenty young.

Read my post again. If he's not going to put in a full effort than yes I advice against it. Amateurs can kick his ass just as well as a pro. If he's going to put in the full effort by all means go ahead. Newsflash sweet heart. Boxing is not a sport you can go in half ass in.

That goes for anyone of any age in boxing.

Is 23 to old to start swimming? Is 23 to old to start running?

Boxing is a sport. Regardless of the age you begin at, like all sports, you reap what you sow.
If you pursue boxing you could have a good amateur career as the cut off point is 35.

Don't allow people to dictate what you can and cannot pursue. If you want it make it happen
