anyway just a few questions:

1) at 18 yrs old, am i too old to be getting into any serious amateur boxing?

2) before i go to my local boxing gym, should i get fit and built up?

3) if i join an ABC and work really hard, how long will it be until i am able to contend in real fights?

thanks.
1. Hell no
2. Doesn't matter, the trainer will tell you what to do when you get there.
3. Depends on your skill level, whenever your trainer thinks you are ready.
I agree on all.

for #3 - It could be 3 months or 2 years.. depends on skill and opputunities
