Ive been a boxing fan for a while now probably about 2 years although i dont nearly get to see as many fights as i would like.
Anyway my question (or more asking for advice) is should I start boxing when im probably way behind everyone else?
Basically im 18 years old 5"9, weigh 10 and a half stone (although a lot of thats been put on recently thus a fairly slim frame), very competitive but do like a good drink (few pints everyday) and smoke about 20 a day.
Im not super unfit, i can still run about 3K without having to stop although I used to be very fit before the shit hit the fan and have a good club nearby (Islington boxing club). Also I know i can take a punch pretty well and my balance and power are adequate (average).
I do want to actually fight people, obviously this will not come immediately, but i dont want to do the workouts, training ect. and not be able to test my skills against someone else in a competitive arena.
So basically im asking for advice on whether in your opinion(s) if it would actually worth starting with the aim of pursuing real matches about 5 months down the line
