"I started boxing at 18" | How to beat the odds!

[@LamontaeHenry]

Keep going bro !! I started boxing at 14/15 started with MMA first , but I was on and off with the boxing was in the gym for like 4 to 6 months at a time but now I’m 22 and I’m back at it and got my first fight coming soon , keep going bro don’t let nobody tell you different.

[@omari2306]

Same stuff here 22 and starting a couple amateur fights this summer! Rooting for you bro!

[@Lemartopper]

Good stuff bro i wish you luck💪🏽

[@Arstar2405]

Facts ,18 is never too young to start. Keep going👊🏾 win your NAC’s and do your GB trials and turning over from there will be much easier.

[@Alxei23456]

I'm 24, from the UK too, started Kickboxing/Muay Thai a year ago. 18 is definitely not too young to start. Neither is my age, the younger you start the more time you have to train to be at that fighter level so you have a longer window of being able to compete. But good luck to you brother, see you at the top 🤞🏽💪🏽

[@Lemartopper]

See you there bro💪🏽💪🏽

[@aljackk]

Bro we’re very much alike, I also started 18, around late 18 (I turned 19 in feb) and want to go pro in boxing, and I’m not just talking when I say I want to go pro, I’m giving it everything I have. I’ll see you at the top brah 💯 and remember to always keep grinding even on your worst days, if you wanna make it, you gotta train hard since we’re already at a disadvantage from a late start, but I promise you if you put in everything you got and have that mindset, you’ll 100% achieve your goals

[@Rfm_19]

[@rdnomar6359]

Ever since I started boxin wit a weighted vest, it’s made me more composed and makes my punches land more solid I think you should give it a try

[@Lemartopper]

I use mine sometimes, how much does yours weigh?

[@rdnomar6359]

20lbs but I use mine with 15lbs cuz I feel like if I use the the whole 20 ima get way to skinny and I ain’t trynna lose weight

[@Jesusisthetruth50]

I wanna give it a go aswell I've always loved boxing but my parents always said it's too dangerous and didnt approve I'm turning 18 too in 3 months keep it up💪💯

[@Lemartopper]

Yeah it is a very dangerous sport but you should give it a go even if its just for fitness

[@leightonmees1646]

[@DenzelNFX]

One of my fav boxers Gabe Rosado started @ 18 as well, might not have the best record but he was up there as a gatekeeper, and ended up in the Creed Movie as well. Frank Martin started @ 17. Comp or not, Just go for it People, trust, Don't give up. God Bless ❤🔥💯

[@Lemartopper]

Yessir frank martin is mad underrated im glad he getting a tank fight

People that learn multiple martial arts start a martial art later than most Boxing not everyone’s first martial art so you’ll find many sambo, capoeira, taekwondo, pencak Silat, wushu, kali experts learn boxing later on in their life

[@DonDawn3]

I'm 31 and started inconsistently training since 24 been to 3 gyms. I dont know, i feel like a lost cause. My confidence in it is low.

[@Lemartopper]

Just relax and enjoy the sport, we often out alot of pressure on ourselves to reach a goal and dont enjoy the journey in the process. Staying consistent and enjoying the journey✅

[@BOXING_IQ]

I started at 32 👍🥊

[@shanesalmon2883]

I'm 28 going 29 this year and I will start boxing very soon. Any advice guys?

Train very hard and stay consistent, the results will come over time

i've also started boxing 3 months before 18, how old are you now? and when did you start competing

[@Lemartopper]

I had my first amateur fight at 19 around 5 months after i first started boxing

I have a few fights lined up within the next couple months

[@AdamEbrahiminov]

You reckon I’m 18 if I train hard for next few years I can get into Olympics

[@jadensilass]

I wish you blessing. But It's way easier over there. I've had some pro guys that moved to NYC from England. They all say the competition is insane in America compared to England. "The average amatuer is comparable to a pro in england". But that doesn't mean give up. Just work harder.

[@Lemartopper]

Yeah i plan on training in us at somepoint theres alot of work over there

[@aylanouzzine6379]

how old r u now?

[@Lemartopper]

21 now

[@heavyx8]

nice

[@Realgogon]

I believe 18-19-20 are good age and not really late to start boxing

[@Lemartopper]

Yeah youre right tbh but it would be better to start 10-16

[@onionOnion748]

Its about will. Deontay wilder start with 21 and george foreman was 18 years old and need only for 1 year for the olmypics and get gold medalist. Anthony Joshua start with 18. Ken Norton start with 20. Rocky Marciano start with 22. Sonny Liston with 19. Dwight Muhammed start with 25 and beat Leon Spinks gold Olympic medallist and heavy weight world champion at the cruiserweight. Bud don’t go on my nerves your not to late. But the potential for boxing and to make it to the champ can only make less people.

[@Lemartopper]

Well said
