Theoretically you could start boxing tomorrow, have 4 years as an amateur, 4 years as a pro, ample time to win lots of fights and lots of money and be done by 30 years old..............you are not too old to box.

Where do you live?

falcon, I used to drive for 90 minutes to get to one gym.

Let us know where you live and we'll try and help you out.



IF there really isn't anywhere to train and you still want to learn fighting skills I would recommend muaythai.

I have just found out that I suffer from blackouts would that effect my chances i'm on medication for it and its working but my worry is that I cant box because of it.Â

[Howlin Mad Missy]

shit dude! you can do the training and body spar but I would be concerned to let you full spar. You have to let your trainer know in case something happens in the gym.

[falcondragonecho]

don't have a trainer yet but working on i'm already in contact with a possible trainer and I have told him and waiting for a reply to be honest if I cant box in ameture league i will be gutted thats for sure.
