If I just start learning boxing at age 19, is it too late to become a pro boxing champion?

Question

I have excellent stamina, speed, and agility but my weakness is strength. Another thing is I am going to be a full time college student so would I have time.

Answer 1

from the sounds of it, work on your strength build up your amateur bouts with alot of wins, get that done and d**n go pro

Answer 2

HA HA, you sound like me, except the pro part. I highly recommend not going into being a pro in the beginning, it would be a good way to get hurt though. In your question I'm going to replace 'pro' with 'amateur'. No it is not too late to get into amateur boxing at your age, the key with doing boxing and school at the same time is time management. Have a schedule and sticking to it. Also if you still want to go pro which I know I do, I *highly* recommend having at least 20-30 amateur fights and accomplishing something such as winning golden gloves, once you have done that then maybe you can start thinking about going pro. If you don't set it up in short term goals you are just setting yourself up for failure which can be a real bummer. Or as my Grandma used to say "haste makes waste". Peace and good luck.

Answer 3

You're a full time college student, you won't have the time to become a full boxer. Many people have done it but it never turns out to be perfect. Juan Diaz was a college student while boxing. Either you focus on one or the other; too hard to do both at the same time. In fact, I was trying to be an amateur boxer while I was in college and even that was pretty hard.

Answer 4

if you want it then go and get it
