Becoming a Pro Boxer: The Steps I Took to Get a Pro Fight 

I didn’t start boxing til 23 and still a amateur fighter at 32 and going pro. Keep going champ🔥🔥🔥

You will be a champion. Hard work beats talent when talent won’t work. Your dedication is the key

This video is a huge inspiration, there’s a lot great fighters that start boxing at a later age and you know not every body has the same path. You see very young fighters that fight since their 10 and you got great father a son duos and then you got guys like us that try to grind hard af. It’s never too late🔥

Damn this makes me feel better. I found boxing and am currently 31. No intention of going pro but would love to have the chance to do an amateur fight sometime in the near future

I started fight at 25 year's old I'm 30 going on 31 in three months age is just an number keep going CHAMP 💪🏾

Im 35 and my coach keeps telling me to go pro but in my head i always thought i was too old. This video and watching you fight is motivating. Thanks man

I discovered training mma at 29. (6 months ago) And I love it so much my goal was try couple local amateur matches before I’m 35 and I’d be happy. (Because I started so late I don’t think I have time or chance to make it pro ) But watching this makes me want to maybe try to pro level too

I started at 21 as well. Ur a inspiration 🔥🙏🏽 God bless

I'm planning on going back to Japan and continuing to train and eventually go pro. I just turned 25 and started at at 23. So this gave me hope.

This is massively inspiring for a huge amount of reasons. Im at 38, not trying to go amateur or pro, but switching my life to combat sports after being a designer at adidas. Im in shanghai and ran into this gym run by one of the most winningest women's champion in Michele Aboro, now im on the path of becoming a coach and teacher. Now im working on getting my mind, body and eyes right, in hopes I can help others get there. Bless to you fam. and when I get up, I will definitely be supporting your community. For now the like and subscribe is what I can do. Bless

You give me a lot of motivation i just turned 19 and started boxing when I was 16 and stopped doing it consistently for a while but this video has let me know that even with this bad hole I fell into I can still crawl out and do what’s necessary to overcome and get a bunch of amateur bouts and turn pro within 3-5 years and just spar a lot even move around the country to get sparring and I have alot of the basics down and feel sharp I just need to get back in shape and spar thank you so much I was down bad man and I’m gonna buy your course to actually gets some tips and training from you to become a better fighter I’m trying to compete at 132 and I walk around at 145 150

Nice video!. One of my goals to compete at least once.

I ran track in college from 18-22 , I really want to start boxing, I am going to the military and doing boxing there on my downtime hopefully I can go pro at 30 I’m 24 now, great inspiring video

Amazing breakdown that every boxer should watch, regardless of their goals. Understanding the landscape of the sport helps you appreciate it more, and the unique paths are harder to follow so this is GOLD! 🤘🏻

I always think of George Foreman when it comes to age and boxing. The boxing clips are dope. You nice bro.

Thank you my fellow boxer and champion, Key. I sincerely appreciate your wisdom. I’m a very dedicated and true boxer- that even trained on Christmas. I’m a Masters Amateur Boxer that is ready, and seeking a promoter. Your story is very inspiring. May my Mighty Lord Jesus Christ ALWAYS bless you, Champ. 😎🔥🥇 🥊🥊🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾💖✝️

I was 16 thinking I was too late to start now I’m 22 this video showed me it’s possible thanks man a true inspiration

Thanks man.

I started kickboxing 4 months ago(I'm 21), and practiced boxing by myself on the bag at home when I had free time. It's the best decision I made, it transformed me into a better person. I am more calm and collected. I would like to have some amateur fights to see what the ring is about. Anyways, great content man, keep up!

True inspiration. Any man above 30 wants to be a fighter should strive for for it and go after this dream. Never rule anything out in life.

Im 20, i started boxing last year when I was 19. You're inspiring to me, man.

I’m just a teen and still learning about boxing I haven’t got into the ring just yet but this helps thank you!

I started at 18, just turned 25. Never had a amateur match or pro match. But plenty of sparring sessions. I plan on getting some matches this year. Thank you for this video, you given me the motivation to keep working on my dream and never give up🙏💯🥊🥊

Hey man, this is a great video! I’m an amateur in the UK and I know I have the talent and work ethic to make it. I’ve beaten elite level boxers (who are pro now), but I am committed to my business. I am 23 years old and I’m afraid I look back after a few years and didn’t try and Peruse my dreams in boxing. I just have to give it a good shot! All the best champ!

This video gave me and prob a lot of others hope for the future

started boxing a year ago at 16 its so difficult some of these kids have been doing this since they came out of the womb and already have like 20 fights, its so hard to compete but im enjoying every second of it.

This comment section has given me wisdom. 23, 150. I’ll see where this path takes me since I’m a warrior at heart. I’m proud of each and one of you guys. Much Love.

Divine direction. This is the video I needed to see right now. Thank you for posting 💯

Ive always liked boxing from a young age and stayed fit but I turned 17 and im thinking of joining a boxing gym in the summer

All I hear in this is pure discipline and strategy. Major respect to you!

23 and just started hopefully by this time next year I’ll be ready for my first amateur fight.

Thank you for this video man its very inspiring, Ever since I started boxing I wanted to know how the whole process of going pro actually works and you made it very essy to understand in this video, Good luck on your journey bro 🔥💪

Yooo! I’m 25 bro. Was currently at wildcard and outlaws. Definitely want to try the pros and see how far I can go. Thank you for this video 🥊

Let’s gooo bro! Very nice video, inspirational as well as very educational. Learned a lot from this man, thank you.

This video gives me motivation and hope for the future. I also had to quit boxing around 2020 due to complicated and unresolved injuries.

didnt know who you were before but now ill be following you on your journey to a world title.

Bro I’m 17 and I play and watch football (soccer) ⚽️ but boxing out of nowhere has become one of my fav sports in the last year to watch and I want to start boxing since it is good for discipline yk and work my way and go pro hopefully soon. This shit inspires me.

I ran track and played football mainly in my younger/high school days. I’m 26 right now with two babies and I train everyday and even train to box. But this year in enrolled at TKO because I want my kids to see what hard work can do, so I want an amateur belt or trophy under my name just for them. I started at TKO Tuesday, Jan 9th, and been there putting in work everyday since. You gave me some motivation to disregard my age and keep chasing my goal but at the same time respecting the process. Hope to see you in there bruh🙏🏼

Started boxing at 23 , been locked in ever since ! I'm turning 28 next month

Don’t give up!!! You’ve come so far already, keep going further.

FR roadwork is overrated, assault bike, cycling or elliptical are all great and easy on the joints. Great advice here man

I just turned 21 and I wanna start boxing crazy to hear you started at 21 it’s motivating

Started late at 21, had 4 fights before tearing my acl. Now 32, want to start the process all over again. This video inspired me that it ain't too late.

I'm from India. I started boxing at the age of 20 or 21 and now i'm 22 with 1-1 amateur record. I left everythings for my boxing. One day I'll be a great Boxer.

Im 21 yrs old, I’ve been training for about 7-8 yrs now and I feel like im decent but I feel like I understand fighting so well and im just utterly in love with it. But im constantly thinking and worrying about how much time I have; I feel like every day that im not doing something to improve myself I get further away from my dream. Im turning 22 soon and I really want to stop fucking around and start fighting but I really don’t know how I’ll afford it or even find the time for it. But I’m chasing and I’m working and I’m not giving up. Thank you for the video and I’ll make sure I’ll follow along. Congrats on making it pro; you look like a great fighter, maybe I’ll see you one day

Thanks for this video man .. me am I'll be 21 March 2024 and am 1yr in boxing now I started 20 But I gat tremendous power and am staying consistent with training..with God I'll be a world champion one day

Let’s goo! Great video and love the message, it’s never too late to go after your dreams!

I'm currently 18 years old, I only train boxing at home on a bag, and quite irregularly, but I like sports. I would like to sign up for classes and maybe fight a few fights in the future

I'm 18 now and I never had the confidence to start boxing even though I would always have loved to. I thought it didn't matter since I can't fight anyways because my eyesight is horrible. Now I've finally started training because while it may take a few years to afford the eye surgery I need, I still want to box. I hope I can get the surgery in 2 or 3 years, then I can finally do what I always dreamed of!

Very useful man I’m just getting started you are very motivating for me and people who are scared to start late. You show us that it’s possible thanks so much man. Much love and success to your career.

Awesome content! This Channel will blow up soon💯

Thank you for sharing your experience it encourages me to take back boxing cause my dream is to become a professional. Eventhough I had to stop boxing and focus on my study abroad project, I strongly believe and know I shall be a pro some day by God's grace. Thanks again

Started mma at 22 had my first fight at 29 im 35 now I miss it

Im just starting at 28 years old prbably wnt be pro until 32

Im 29 but this dream always on my head and disturbed me do a normal job

31 now started boxing no prior history other then here and there nothing major but I 100 percent believe I can become a pro

No way bro you saying you started boxing at 21 made me extremely happy. Im 19 and ive been boxing since i was late 17 and i kept thinking i was a bit old to become an amateur. Here i am with a solid 15-3 record. Hoping to go pro within a few years.

Im 30, did some boxing back when i was early 20s, had 1 fight and didnt take it seriously, no sparring or training camp, i didnt win but made it to the end of the fight based on stubborness to give up, and im thinking of getting back into it and doing some local stuff, so thankyou for confirming i am not too old! 😅

I started when I was 17 stopped because of financial issues and inconsistency now I’m 19 turning 20 what was a good hobby turned into a real passion for the sport I will get back into it this year I’ve already wasted enough time

Congratulations 🎊🍾 Kenyon on becoming a professional boxer at 34 years old I’m proud of you dawg. Keep up the good work and thank you for sharing your journey on becoming a pro boxer at 34 year old it motivating

Great video. I started boxing 5 months ago, and my goal is to compete professionally and become the best version of myself. I find your videos relatable as I am starting late (26 years old). Right now my eyes are on an amateur license. I will follow your advice on the other video with regards to accumulating as many amateur fights as possible, so that I have the adequate amount of experience and knowledge to deal with the wide range of different situations that come with boxing. I know it is hard to accomplish this but, I will accomplish it.

This is fire. I’m late 20’s with a torn meniscus so it’s inspiring to hear I can still get some good work in after surgery

Man I’m 22 SR college football QB and stopped boxing when I was 15 to get a scholarship in football. I Wanna Start back boxing this video was perfect.

Preciate you sharin this, I’ve been trainin a couple months and plan on goin pro next year at 35, probably gonna grind all this year and do amateur. Any tips while I take this path would help brodie

Really inspirational.... Thanks for providing an insight to the journey..... It takes so much more than being a good Boxer.... Hats off to you!! Also waiting for your next fight🥊

Rocky Marciano was 23 when he's gone pro, and his prime was even older

Badass video bro a lot of information I been looking for keep it up 🔥 💪

Bro this is an AWESOME video. I subbed. But you gotta make a video expadning on your trianing. So curious to get a glimpse on exactly how you trained, workeouds, cardio, because it would be super beneficial to get people out of a training "rut".

This really gives me alot motivation, i just started boxing at the age of 23, and it's been my dream for so long

Wow! So Inspired of you and others on the comment section knowing that am not the only one who started boxing at later stage of my life. I’ve only started boxing 4 years ago and turned pro last year at age of 27. All I can say is that we shouldn’t conform to the norm of people saying it’s too late to box but chase our dreams and passion to live a fulfilled life. Atleast we dont get to regret something we should’ve done in our lives once we’re old whether we become champion or not. Looking for more of your content!

I'm 17 and I'm thinking about starting with a goal to become a pro boxer, wish me luck, great vid dude

Respect 🫡

i like youir mindset and im surprised you show the business side of things, very different from other boxers

This is a great video for any aspiring boxer regardless of age. Even if you're not looking to be a world champion, it costs a lot of money to actually have a pro fight and it's not as easy as it seems. Being around a gym for a long time and training with professionals it seemed like not just a passion but a full time job, with plenty of overtime when it came time to sell tickets last minute while cutting weight. Plenty of fighters have a lot of talent but cannot afford to be the A-side or fail to receive the notoriety needed to attract management to keep them undefeated long enough to get linked with a promoter. It definitely takes a lot of guys and resilience to go through with a pro bout, especially after all the time off, kudos to you Kenyon!

Definitely an inspiration video to never give up on your dream and what you love!

You did good look at the COVID 2020 I know a lot of fighters dead broke and wish they had something going you at least prepared yourself educating knowing how to read financially know how to make money outside of fighting in proud of you

boxing aside, i wanna know your color grading workflow lmaooo this video just _looks_ great too!

You should do more videos like this one… #inspirational

Big ups bro gonna be following you. Keep that Grind

Thanks, definitely gonna come back to this video when I'm fully healed and ready to go

Started at 24, first amateur fight at 28 (due to injury). Trying to go as far as possible!

Thank you.

My boy you look 22 right now when you said you turned pro at 34 I dam near spit my water out

Great video man ✊🏻

Thank you for making this video bro. It feels like such a specific circumstance and story, but as I can see from the comments: the kind of journey you're on is shared by many others (including myself). You've inspired me to keep grinding and at least get myself to do a few amateur fights even though I'm in my early thirties as well! Subscribed and will be following your journey!

I’ve been training boxing and mma on and off since 23. I just didn’t live anywhere close to a gym and it was always a ridiculous drive. I’m 29 now and have buckled down and started training seriously. A judo gym opened 15 minutes from my house. I still have to drive an hour and 15 minutes for BJJ and kickboxing but it’s whatever. I’m hoping to get a few mma fights in my life. I’m not delusional enough to think I’m going to be a world champ but I think I could do pretty well on the local level. It would just be good stories for my 50 year old self to tell “I used too be a fighter back in the day” 😂 Even if I don’t ever have a bout It’s just an awesome hobby and it’s nice to know how too defend yourself adequately.

God bless you Big Dog, you're a G.

Bro, this video is gold.

Your best video yet

Nothing but truth and honesty great video

great video, thanks man

Im 35 .. nobody is going to convince me that its too late. Keep pushing my Warriors

This is inspiring. Thank you so much for sharing.

hella inspirational bro!

You’re videos are very good, you will blow up soon if you stay consistent 🙏💯

This honestly gives me inspiration

Im 21 getting into Amateur boxing soon , great video

I truly appreciate this!

I started boxing almost a year ago I started at 18 and I train at one of the best gyms in my city I’ve trained in Muay Thai previously I wanted to pursue mma but now that I box I fell in love with the sport and this video gave me the motivation to keep pursuing it even if I did start “late”

This information is very useful. Please make more videos like this.
