Well, I guess like basketball players, you'll be given a chance to play as long as you can run, jump and shoot. Boxing Association have no strict ruling as up to what age a boxer can fight professionally.

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.

I don't know about the amateur record, but acording to BoxRec (the Boxing Records Archive) Hunter is undefeated with four wins, two by knockout. He is scheduled to fight at the Club Crobar in NYC. Be sure to bookmark BoxRec.com if you'll be looking up any other fighters' record in the future.

Not anymore, I'm afraid. It's not a matter of age limits, it's a matter of the sport getting more and more competitive. Until the 70s, gymnasts could go on competing well into their twenties. Larissa Latynina competed between the ages of 19-30, Vera Caslavska between 16-26, Agnes Keleti between 31-35. Now a gymnast has to be very small and flexible to cope with difficulty standards, so they start very early and retire very early too.

Yeah he is only 29.  He can have a great life after boxing.  Can you imagine being 29 and financially able to comfortably support a family for the rest of your life.  He has so much to lose and so little to gain by continuing.  He already has a fantastic boxing legacy.  Hang it up

There's no age limit, I didn't learn to do a good back handspring til I was 21.  Work on your ab muscles that helps.  Also I learned how to do it by getting the feel in a foam pit.  The pit was solid not blocks of foam.  It really helped.  I did notice that when my chest started to develope that it was really hard to do tricks.  Your balance is different.  Good luck

Certainly, there is no rule against body art or "tattoos" in any level of boxing whether amateur or pro. I fought for over 5yrs as an amateur and my best friend was also a fighter. By the time he was 16yo he had two complete "sleeves" (both arms covered in tats from the wrist to the shoulder). \n\nA famous pro-fighter who had a long amateur career, Johnny Tapia (over 150 amateur fights) had tattoos during his amateur career. Once he turned pro the tattoos increased in amount and coverage. Hope this helped, Good Luck.
