I know guys in they'r mid twenties who have just had theyr first fights..

Ive not fought yet and im 17.. But i have no ambition to turn pro.. But am just content to fight seriously as an amatuer..

Winky wright didnt start boxing till 15.. Probably did not fight till a year at least afterwards..

Bernard hopkins started boxing at 17 when in prison..
And turned pro when he got out

Hope this helps :P
