When they are ready. Usually is in the first year. I've seen as early as 3 months, and as late as many years. Myself was at 9 months of training and on the day of my 13th birthday.

Sometimes people are more prepared naturally, or maybe have been in a combative sport so it will come to them quicker as their bodies have likely already conditioned. Sometimes people will join boxing for the fitness...then after many years decide, "heck...I want a fight!" Other times, never. I see this in the eyes of people at my gym, from some that have trained for years. But for some reason they never do get medicaled and have that first fight.

A fighters mentality is not in everyone I believe. It isn't an anger. It is a sort of hunger.

When all is said and done..hopefully, properly, when they are ready.
