"Am I too old to start boxing?"

[HeroClass]

to box professionally I think starting up to the age of 25 is ok. But to just box in the gym any age is ok I would think.

Well.I'm going to start at 47 in 2 months

I guess a rephrase of the question is more appropriate

Notwithstanding any amateur requirements which may apply officially or unofficially in any given state, I would DESTROY any cruiserweight pitted against me after 4 months of rigorous training, & likewise any1 else pitted against me every 2 weeks to a month thereafter"." If only I could find a trainer & manager. That's the MF'n TRUTH"."
