Answer 3

At 30 you're not as old as you think.  You might have a shot depending on your dedication and exactly what you intend to do in boxing.  

Go to a gym and learn the basics.   Block out all the negative talk about your age.   Do a LOT of walking and running and take good care of your feet and knees.  

Figure your ideal weight for your height.   Don't be obsessed with killing yourself to get to a lower weight, thinking it will give you an advantage in height.     Train as hard as you can for at least 3 months before considereing a weight class or fighting or even sparring.  You will know when you feel your best.  There's your weight class.  

Find a good trainer and some sparring partners who are not looking to pad their records or reputations at the expense of a novice.  

There's a good start.

Good Luck
