Question

i know my weight is alot for my height buy i am going down in weight with the boxing work out i am 27 years old and just started but i love the sport i want to fight any advice helps

Answer 1

Just worry about getting to a healthy weight. If you enjoy boxing then that's great--it is much easier to get into decent shape if you have some kind of exercise you love. If your goal is to compete some day, I'm not going to discourage you. Hold that out as a goal to motivate you. It might be a good idea to accept the reality at the beginning, though, so that you don't get discouraged and quit on yourself. You are a 27 year old, very overweight, untrained person. Are you going to earn your living someday as a boxer? That seems absolutely impossible to me. Can you become a passionate practitioner of the sweet science, and a fit, conditioned human being? You bet. Go for it.

Answer 3

you really would have to lose over 100lbs to fight people around your own height. think hard if thats what you wanna do, if so best of luck man.

Answer 4

i hate to throw water on your fire but, you better lose a lot to fight people your size, because your not going to be able reach the big boys and they're going to beat the h**l out of you.  you'll be blocking their punches with your face.

Answer 6

Your 27 years old? have not boxed before? and are 5'6 270 lbs??? man you could almost get on disability at that point. Just get down to healthy weight and forget about boxing as a career...you might literally get killed if you tried to fight even a moderately good smaller heavyweight.

At 5'6 your gonna want to be around the welterweight limit, which is 147 lbs give or take. Take before and after pictures id love to see this if you could actually go from 270 to 147.

Maybe you should try Jared's rout and make a couple bucks.

Answer 7
