Really? im very overweight and not fighting fit yet? is 3-4 months for my first bout realistic?
1 year is realistic, I doubt anyone sensible would advise you to compete in 12 weeks.

You cant pull on flowers to make them grow.

We should leave this decision to him and his coach. We've never seen the dude so much as shadow box so we couldnt possibly know when he should step in the ring.

3-4 months isnt unrealistic depending on where hes at. 6-12 months seems average for a newbie. Everyone developes at their own speed.
