Starting Boxing Late: Focus on These 4 Things 

I’m 45 years old and I’ve been boxing for a year. Everyone should know how to throw a punch and get in shape.

I started training consistently at 32. I'm going to be 34 soon and my 3rd bout will be in 2 days. Thanks for looking out for the guys who want in on a later time.

I feel like fighting in general is one of those things you can start late and be great

Consistency and dedication is key, i started boxing 5 months ago, i have not missed a day and i train like i have a fight, we spar with many other gyms 2-3 times a week and i always beat up on guys that have been boxing for 3 plus years sometimes 8 years, its not because im so much more talented than they are its because they are on and off, their lack of dedication and consistency is their downfall, i have surpassed so many of my teammates just by training hard, my advice is, if you really want to box, be all in, or dont be in it at all.

Looking to have my first amateur fight this year! Been pushing myself more than ever. Started at 28 but wasn’t consistent until 29. Not expecting to go pro, but definitely want to be a BEAST😤💯

i am a coach and i have been telling my kids this for YEARS. You are 100% on point especially with regards to the social media aspects

I'm 21 now and start boxing 6 months ago. Really want to try some pro fights in future. Thx for the video bro !! Greetings from Brazil 🇧🇷🥊

I started at 14 years old and I boxed for 3 years took a 3 year break still would hit the bag now I’m 21 and am getting into the amateur team it’s never too late especially if you quit, just come back the sport will welcome you with open arms

I used to go to TKO and you always took the time to correct my form and give tips. I started boxing in my mid 30s and im 44 now but with good coaching I have all the fundamentals mastered into muscle memory

I'm 36 and basically learned the fundamentals for about a year. It's been 8 months since I've been in a boxing gym bc prices are thru the roof-$200/month! However, I've retained most of what I've learned, and do bag work, mitts, shadow boxing, and spar twice a month!

I’m 18 and my family and friends of family have been telling to box for years now especially since middle school, I’ve loved boxing for years now and just started thinking about joining a gym. This video actually motivated me to sign up at one tomorrow morning! Keep up the great content and Good luck on the rest of your fights.

Well … if you just wanna learn how to box to get in shape and learn how to defend yourself , it’s never too late to learn how to box , but if you wanna go pro and you’re in you’re late 20s and 30s 😬😬😬it’s gonna be a lot harder but not impossible … but it’s never too late .

I start boxing when i was 23,almost 1 year now i believe when the time has come i will be a champion

I’m 26 I’m tryna turn over a new leaf and leave a legacy and be the best I’ve ever been in life and take care of my family and truly inside I feel chosen and a warrior !I want to start this year work my way up !how bad can it be !😅

Great vid bro. Never heard the road and options laid out like this👏

I’m 24 with 30 AM FIGHTS right now I’m 5-0 pro so he’s not lying get that experience spar pros if u can

First off I love that you presented yourself in a intelligent and concise manner. I'm all for reppin "the culture" but it's annoying when people don't take a presentation seriously. This video popped up and I'm glad I watched. I'm a young lady that's getting started late. I actually started traing seriously about 7 years ago. Then stepped away (legal issues, family death, finances). But I legit got in a car accident this past Friday (rear ended, pushed into the intersection) and life is too short. So thanks for content. New sub and I actually turned on notifications. ✌🏾❤️

I started boxing at 13, left it alone for years besides training at different gyms and doing work alone. From sparring to bag work I kept at it. But at 33, I’m back to pursuing my dreams of boxing. It’s never too late. We have a 65 year old man just learning to box and he’s getting good!

Thank you for this champ!🫡🫵🏆

Been on and off for the last 10 years. Just recently trying to get serious. Currently 28 from Oakland. No fights yet lol. I’m holding your vids as gospel

wtf I been watched your debut video a few times idk why I’m just now diving into your channel I’m 27 and was 6-3 in amateurs from junior high till I was 17 and had shit happen and been training daily past 3 years w my first fight back soon. You inspire me brother 🎉wish me luck if you see this

Been on and off as a kid and only started to take it seriously after COVID for about 2 years I'm going 23 honestly where i am isnt pushing the sport so im praying for that break true sometime before im 25 at least appreciate the knowledge 💯 🙏🏽

Excellent video! Solid info, with a legit perspective!

Good looks and good tips. Preciate it!

So much free game. This is dope

Love this , thank you for the advice bro ! I just recently turned 27 but I’ve been training and sparring for five years actively. Been pushing my skills even more now, even if Im not currently at a gym. Hopefully if I get the chance I could go pro, fingers crossed.🤞🙏

Holy, we have almost the same injuries bro, I have them on both knees btw, I'm 20 and I started training this month, I'm really enjoying it. Greetings from Brazil! 🇧🇷 🥊

Man Bro U Got A Lotta Wisdom I’m Glad I Came Across This Channel Fa Sho 💪🏿✨

bro thanks for this and life does get in the way. I do plan on going pro in a couple years I'm 32 now but i just need to get more consistent with working out and hard to get to the gym without a car. What are things i can buy for at home to maximize my workouts until I'm able to get to the gym. I was consistent for a year and then dropped off. Could I do more calisthenics than weights and be good? I shadow box everywhere randomly, envisioning different opponents, different scenarios and foot work. Also, instead of road work, couldn't I do VR cardio instead?

I’m 17 rn my goal is to have my first amateur fight sometime next year and try to get the golden gloves 👀👀👀

🙏🙏🙏 thank you for the video bro

Let's Go kenyon this man is nice!

TY, this is what I needed. I played football all my life almost went pro after semi pro. i got into boxing and now box at a good boxing gym, but nobody cares about going pro except me. they just want to spar everyday lol which I don;t mind :) God Bless thank you for being a Guide on this as there is not much on guys who want to go pro at my age 33.

Thanks many useful tips

19 I turn 20 this summer I wanna give this my all it brings me closer to god and I will be one of the greats but sometimes I feel maybe Im starting to late

Nice content bro, What Camera are you using? I wanna start youtube

Speaking of injuries, injured both of my wrists in sparring and then since I couln't box and train upper body that much I started running a lot and now I got a pair of sprained ankles

Good shit young blood

Just turned 24. As soon as i get my transportation problems solved I’m hitting the gym daily and going after my dreams of being an MMA fighter.

I’m 23 and I love boxing. Wanted to join a boxing gym at a young age but my family couldn’t afford it. But now since I make my own money I can cover the cost. I plan on focusing on strength and stamina and punching power for 1 year then joining a gym.

You look like little crawford :), I'm from the Philippines, your videos are amazing, you inspired me bro.. thank you for the tips

Keep uploading💪

Great advice

There is a HW I heard of he got KO twice as an Amateur but went pro and he became 76-9 losses someone else know he was a two time national champ in cincy he ended up 2-18

I'm also dealing with a partial shoulder labrum tear from boxing, wondering how long it took you to fix it, and how you're dealing with it now?

25 here starting boxing bc my spark for soccer left me I rarely enjoy skirmishes for soccer and I dont play competitive Sunday league anymore been 8 months. Im not the type of person to be happy with myself when Im not active yeah I workout but its different from the spark of a sport

Let's work !💪🏾🤞🏾

Local presence here in nyc is tough 🤣. Gotta deal with too much when people know you’re an mma fighter

You should make a video showing us your training and how you train

This was a great video

Hey how do I practice the basics on the jab where I’m loose with my arm it seems too stiff

Been tryna start boxing I'm 17 but I don't have any gyms close to me

how i suppose to manage time as someone who is working for 12 hours a day from 11 am till 12 midnight i am really serious about boxing i train by myself but i need to go to a boxing gym still but time and schedule at the Only boxing gym in my city are so not do able they have diff packages the only morning class is about 120$ a month but the timing still not good enough for me i hate rushing to work and being anxious that i might be late for work every training session......what should i Do....i dont wanna leave my job tooo since i jobhuntingfor 2 years to finally have a job i ain't stoping istg....i wanna manage both in a healthy way

Never too late to join. If you’re doing it for exercise, or local comp. If your trying to go pro u can be late but still make it late.

I started summer of last year, at 32, not looking to go pro or anything, but i would like to do 1 amerature fight just to see if i can even do it. From what im hearing from my gym, however, is that heavy weights are difficult to come by in my state of Ga, most heavyweights go to Texas

Im 30 years old and i love boxing . I did few amateur fights on my past , but for lack of dicipline and being lazy I didnt turn to profesional boxer. To be honest , I would like to have atleast few profesional fights before will more late .

I am 18 will turn 19 in few months and I want to get in shape and learn fighting but I think that it’s too late to start learning boxing and also I can’t really find any martial arts gym in my city I am confused whether I should start by watching RU-vid videos or wait for more years until I find any real coach.

Is coaching boxing a good idea while being an amateur instead of getting some job? Helps with your social media presence too?

I am self taught boxer. Currently working on buying more equipment to work with. When i started I wasn't sure if I wanted to take this serious after sometime i decided togive it my all. If anyone from CA want to spar me i am 160 lbs. I have 2 videos on my channel showing some of my skills.

I love mk1 gloves

Yo, how do you box with all those injuries? I have what I believe is bicep tendinitis, and it's so annoying. I want to box, but idk if I would be any good with my injury. By the way, I'm 30 years young

this change me

What advice would you give to someone who started boxing at 16 and takes it very seriously. I dropped out of school to persue a career as a pro boxer so I train 2 to 3 times per day but the country I am in does not have the best amateur boxing scene (we have nationals but it’s at a way lower level than nationals in America) I am however surrounded by other professionals in my gym that I always spar including a former world champion. Do you think it is possible to be a international high level pro without a crazy amateur background? I feel like I was made for this sport and I can make it but I just wanna see if u got any advice for me

Hi there , i started boxing yesterday and plan on to train 6hrs a week (3 times a week ) . I was obviously the worst in the gym but i want to become skilled and above average . Is it normal to be bad at the start and will i overtake the boxers at the gym overtime?

Wassup god I just turned 27 I have some experience with fights in ny and the Caribbean. I know 52 blocks and want to learn boxing for the art and knowledge to box how do I go about this

Can you make an in depth video on nutrition pls

When you say starting late, there's only so far you can go at a certain age. I believe it's a young mans game, having said that im 44 and started 6 months ago. But it's all levels, so anything beyond unlicensed/ white collar matches is unrealistic for anyone my age i think.

is it possible for managers and promoters to be at amateur bouts and scout for potential fighters

Bro I’m 16 turning 17 in 4 months I’ve done boxing for 6 months but don’t know if I should go back before 18 to see if I can make serious money in the fight game wether bare knuckle or boxing do you think I realistically have enough to get to the level by 18 or 19 would still be possible to go pro in boxing at 19 or 18 cause also don’t want to invest so much time into nothing but Iam a believer what’s your thoughts 💭

Duran had very little am fights apparently.

Is 17 late? I’ve been boxing since I was 12 but not with a coach just me and my brother studying fights and sparring eachothers and filming it to break down what we need to fix

You’ve seen my vids on IG. I want to start a youtube channel for my journey. I’m just now starting at 28 & on a weight loss journey. What should my first video be? My training is about to be filmed in a few weeks and i’m wondering where to start with youtube

Hello! I came across this remarkable video that has truly captivated me. Since my college days, I've been immersed in the world of boxing, having joined the boxing club, and it has evolved into a cherished hobby. I was wondering if I could have your permission to use this video and provide Chinese subtitles for it. The intention is to share it on my channel, extending its reach to my friends and the Chinese audience. I'm convinced that these valuable insights will not only benefit us but also resonate well with a broader audience. Your generosity in sharing this knowledge is highly appreciated. Thank you!

Jeff chandler only had 1 or 2 army fights and was one of the greats

better late than never im 21 going on 22 soon

Can you give me your honest no bullshit opinion on this bro? I have been boxing on and off since I was 18 years old. I’m in the best shape of my life. I’m in the army and I am in the process of becoming a cop. This is the first time in a long time where I have the time and resources to give this one last chance. This is the only physical thing that has ever worked for me. I turn 30 in July, I would ideally like to go pro say around 33. What do you think? Keep in mind, I have experience and got the fundamentals down.

I want to be the best money doesnt matter if i win millions i am giving it to the poor., God has provided for me enough now he will use me to provide for his other children mark my words 2030 year undisputed lhw champ

I’m 55 years I’m in very good shape I’m ready for fait

Hi what is the age limit for starting amateur competitions? Is 30 late?

what age range do you personally think is a "late" start to boxing ?

What age did you start boxing?

Is beginning to box at 19 late?

I just want to win national match with gold medal. I don't have access to good coaches. My next year goal is to get inter university gold. any suggestions 🙏

I feel like i have very high level skill & IQ to make it in next level. I would like to send some sparring over to you for it to have your honest opinion

Is starting at 16 late?

I am 17

U look like frank martin

I want get started i get started....im 30

Wanna know what´s wrong with boxing and all combat sport today? The stress on social media. This video lists "healthy lifestyle" as an important point AFTER social media, like it´s more important how you look and the way you are perceived than actually laying the ground for being a successful fighter. Half of this video is devoted to that crap

Is 19 yrs to late to be a pro?

is no boxing late 🤦‍♂️ Bx if your a decent fighter they are just going to wait you out🤷‍♂️ I was extremely gifted stated in my late 20s and beat everyone I fought had 2 titles and still had a 3 yr gap due to waiting for an opponent if your a late bloomer just get a job do it has a hobby and hope you can get a few bucks Know that until you land something big it's a hobby And number 1 above all Be aware that talent alone is not enough I'm proof of that

i am 19 year old

29 too old ?

I’m 28 1-0 amateur 0-1 pro for now get that amateur experience up and sparring

It's difficult to explain the situation on RU-vid can i contact you on mail. I got some questions just for boxing.
