I am a 56 year old, 412lb man, Do you think it is to late to become a Professional Boxer?

Just enjoy being 56 with your damn dirty low car insurance rates and your AARP discount.  If you wanna box, then box with your one eyed opponent while you sit in front of your big screen.

Asher j you asked this question before, so I'm going to give you almost  the same answer as before.\n\nI think you're about 3 yrs to late, you should have had a Coach / Trainer at 13 years of age and been training at that point, but if you want it bad enough and are willing to work I'd say you had a shot.\n\nRemember if you choose to do this it becomes your ( job / career ) it's not just the glory you see on Television, you will eat and sleep bicycles seven days a week.

You just have to go door to door.  Convince these companies that you have what it takes to be something great and just come right out and ask them if they will contribute to your boxing.  I think that its no different than them donating to a charity.  I was sponsored by a local tavern in my boxing days.  Most bar owners in my opinion love all types of sports and boxing is a topper.

I think you are the only person who really knows the answer. You probly wouldn't be asking if you hadn't thought it through already. Even though youv'e been wrestling for 6 years, you may be ready to move on. Everybody changes and progresses with thier life in different ways. Don't let other people pressure you into doing things you don't wanna do. good luck!

i think it should. i also think in the next few years mma will become more popular than boxing.

I don't know the ideal age to start.  Oscar started like 7 as did many great fighter.  Some fighters like Jermaine Taylor started in teenage years.  If you start too young there is a good chance you will be burnt out.\n\nAs far a 21 if you were a very gifted athlete you can still be good even pro.  To be a world class boxer at 21 is a very late start.\n\nI started in 8th grade and still found many kids my age with much more experience.  The good news is after getting your butt kicked by more experienced guys your fighting will get much better if you keep on trying.

Based on the appalling written language skills you have displayed here. I think you are far to stupid to do anything other than fight. I recommend you take boxing lessons as soon as possible. It's that or MacDonald's for you moron.

Lennox Lewis ended his career several years ago already a little past his prime as a boxer.  Heavyweights usually reach their peak in their later twenties and Lennox was past that already and slowing down abit.  He came close to losing his last bout and made the right decision to leave the game before he lost or got hurt.

if you are a boxing trainer should be easy just get in contact with council of you town and get answers from their .. i do think you need a boxing trainer certificate license to do that any way.

Muaythai is a tough sport.  The knockdowns and KOs seem to be less than in boxing but the careers are shorter.  The guys who do it tend to be kids from the countryside, who dedicate most of their teens to this sport.  The ritual and feeling of a muaythai match is fun to see and I really think regular boxing tends to be more dangerous.  Me, I'll watch, too damn old to get hit!

You will probably have a local Golden Gloves tournament for both open and novice boxers, leading to a state or regional for the open division only with the winners going to the National Golden Gloves in Chattanooga, TN, April 30 through May 5.  All 11 weight classes will be contested:  106, 112, 119, 125, 132, 141, 156, 165, 178, 201 & 201+.  I would guess that your local tournament will probably be scheduled for March or April.  Since the open division qualifies to advance to the U.S. Championships in June, you must be between the ages of 17 and 34, a U.S. citizen, with a minimum of 5 scored bouts in your passbook.

That depends if he kept training after his last fight.  I think he still have speed, but not like he used to have when he was a middleweight.  And he's older too!!

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.

Sure...but depending on where you are, you may have difficulty getting work as a pro boxer...if you are in a soft commision state in the US (read: Georgia), you probably could go in without any training at all and fight...In Conneticut?  Not so much, there are serious rules for fighters there.\n\n    Best advice is to find out what it takes to be licensed in your area to box, then get running, lifting weights, dieting and hitting the bags.\n\nbtw, Mike Tyson was younger than 23 when he started...he was already champ by then.
