Rocky Marciano didn't start boxing until he was 22 and he is considered one of the all-time-greats. However, at this age you'll have to really dedicate yourself to training. Try to find a good local gym with a trainer who has experience with pro fighters. You'll still probably have to try out the amateur circuit, but you've got time. Although most boxing experts agree that boxers don't have enough to be at the top anymore at 35, that's still a long time away, and you've seen what George Foreman was able to do. If you're willing to do your roadwork every morning and do whatever your trainer says, I'm sure you can do well.

Actually doing boxing... There's no better workout for the sport than actually doing it; that way, you literally "learn the ropes" (learn to distance yourself within the ring, you learn to breathe better with a mouthpiece, you leran to handle your hands and punch wearing gloves, and you learn to keep your head regardless of whether you're being punched. You get over feeling self-conscious, and you feel more comfortable.

I thinkt they have an age limit for school.  You can get your GED though.  If Mike Tyson can pass his GED, anybody can.

Does he have to fight a professional boxer to get a Green Card? Or did someone tell you that a large percentage of "Boxers" are foreign and have Green Cards? Does your question have any relevance to the sport of boxing? \n\nBut, I know many people who had little trouble getting a Green Card, they either did it the legal way and studied up on basic US History or they took the short cut and bought it or married someone to get it. Not a pro boxer though. Anyway if he is a US citizen and you and he get married you'll become a citizen through marriage.

depends most boxing gyms dont matter who goes in the ring as long as it is for training and also if there is a schedule fight night the gym takes profit on those fights so maybe if you go to a gym u can get in a boxing ring for free amigo

Get a good trainer. Do your roadwork every morning, and then do whatever your trainer tells you to do. I know that sounds lame, but you someone who can see what you look like and how you're progressing will know a lot better than anyone else.\n\nAnd of course, watch lots of fight tapes to see the techniques of the other greats. I would recommend Ricardo Lopez. Though a strawweight, he is the most technically sound boxer I have ever seen and is great to learn textbook moves from.\n\nStay focused, and good luck!

You have to answer that for yourself.  Without knowing you or your skills and attributes no-one can make a reccomendation that will suit you.  Ask yourself why you want to box?  Are you looking for competition, exercise, self defense?  If you have the opportunity, try all of them and see what you enjoy the most.  Good Luck.

Join an amateur boxing club or gym. Just be careful its a tough sport. \n\nAlso instead of paying for expensive lessons or camps, why not buy a heavy bag and install it at home. That way you can learn on your own from textbooks or the internet.

There is no Boxer Degree.The best you can hope for is to make the boxing team ,provided the school you attend has one.The easiest way for you to get involved,learn,train,and compete to get to professional level that "pays to fight" is Golden Gloves amateur boxing.It exists in almost every country on the planet.Just search for the golden gloves in your area on the web.Good Luck.

You need to find a boxing gym in your area. Try looking through the list on the link below. Any good trainer will show you the basics and get you started on a regular program. \n\nAnd watch Ricardo Lopez fights. He was a near perfect textbook fighter. :)

Why do you keep asking the same question? I don't box. I just spar with my husband sometimes. It's great exercise and it helps me appreciate actual boxers more because it takes so much skill and dedication. Hit you up for some cash? Sure, give me twenty bucks.

Go online and check out the websites of various boxing councils. Your state may have a boxing organization. Try them first...they will likely have a list of gyms, trainers, etc. in your vicinity. Be prepared to devote a lot of time and sweat. Good luck to you.

If you are young enough, there are probably free gyms for various youth groups.  It's a shame there's no boxing in your school.  If there is, that should function as sufficient introduction to the sport.\n\nInteresting question:  are there boxing scholarships to college?
