![Am I Too Old To Box? [The Real Answer!]](/img/tr.png)
I'm actually going on a amateur journey at 41. I've been training since I was a teen, and have had a bunch of white collar fights. I only plan on doing it for a year. Maybe get 10 fights and call it a day. Good work champ 💪
Great plan. I have a guy in my gym that is 65 years old and is still competing in the masters. He was my motivation to get back to it.
Ya both my motivation I’m back at 37
@@darksidecoops 👍👊
I’m on the same journey 🙏🏾.. 42 in October… check my page
I was told usa amatuer boxing allows u to be an amatuer until youre 40..... so how are you boxing as an amatuer right now?
Major Respect Bro I’m about to turn pro at 33 this gives me motivation!
That is great to hear for real! You have a date yet?
@@keysessoms Appreciate it bro! Fight date set in August! Dropping weight and getting back sharp!
How long was your amateur career if you don’t mind me asking
@@keysessomshow many amateur fight would you recommend having before turning pro.
@@t1mu823I’d say 20-25
Congratulations I’m about to make my debut pretty soon at 36 something I said to myself and I say all the time to others it doesn’t matter about age or experience it just matters how bad you really want it.
Well damn said! let me know how it goes.
How did it go?
Does it take around 10 years to become to world champion or,it could be possible in lesser time??
Please answer.
💯‼️‼️
Im 25 and guy at the gym said bro im 26 and ppl say you starting to late dont listen to those guys. I said faxx.
I come from a family of boxing and its in me
Your an inspiration bro, I’m 27 and one month in of getting back into boxing. I started when I was in my teens but trained on and off due to not being able to find the right situation. I had one amateur fight at 22 that I lost. Sometimes I wonder if it too late but I try to motivate my mind and when I see guys like you I know I can still get out there and rumble
Its never to late depending on what you are trying to do in the sport, but if you can sells a good amount of tickets turning pro is not that difficult.
I'm in the same place man 27 and just getting back into mma I wrestled as a kid and highschool. did amature kick boxing at 18 and just stopped and havent done anything since. I've been feeling like its too late since I turned 25.
Much respect I just decided to get into boxing I use to a long time ago on and off I’m turning 25 in 4 months and going to be pro by the time I’m 27💪🏾 so my plan is to be a God fearing man/Husband&Father/ Barber/Boxer/UA-cam
Thank you! Do your thing. I really wish you the best on your journey for real
@@keysessoms appreciate you brotha 💪🏾

This is beautiful man . I just turn 34 my self . I only have 2 months practicing . To see you move like that at our age man .inspiring man . Thank you
Thank you. I definitely had to make some substitution to running to because my knees are shot, but I found a way to make it work.
This was just what I needed, I started my boxing journey 7 months ago and I’m 24 years old. I was always worried if it was too late for me or if I would be too old to go pro.
If you ever need any advice do not hesitate to reach out.

I started boxing when I was 11 years old and went Amateur but stopped when I was about 13. I’ve always regretted not going all the way with it, I’m 28 years old now and I’ve been wanting to compete again, you just gave me some motivation man for real.
much respect. 32 about to stage a comeback
Let's get it!
33 here. Never boxed before until 6-8 months ago. Have put in some time. since those months. My skill an technique has a LONG way to go. I intend on Amateurs , at some point.
Good job on the match, sir. Thank you for being a inspiration to me, and as well others that want better for themselves physically and mentally.
Lets go! Im 27 and getting ready for my pro debut. Best of luck on your journey
That is great! you fight yet?
I needed this I’m 26 & just stop smoking to turn my life around
I might as well go hit this gym with my bro & his trainer💯
Do it. It can be life changing.
I’m 22 and started 4 months ago this motivated me so much more
Shades of Bud here with the head movement, inching in nicely bro. Beautiful work. Even at 27 I thought it was too late to do something FUN with boxing, let alone pro. Proud of you.
Thank you I appreciate that. Im looking it exactly how you saying. Something fun to do.
Thank you for this I needed it! Turning 30 next month and would like to go pro at 32-33. Very motivating🙏🏼

How’s the training goin bro ?
@@rigohernandez212 I had to take a break due to other financial obligations but the gym is calling my name. How bout you?
Ive been boxing since a kid off and on but barely getting back to it at 31 you giving me motivation to get back to fighting thank you for this i started feeling like i was to old even tho i still look 19 i still felt like time is passing by and i waited to long
It is definitely not to late to still give the sport a try and do it. I think for most people it all depends on what your goals are at the sport.
@keysessoms yeah your right ✅️ thanks I appreciated female fighter here 💪

Man that fight was entertaining! I've been thinking about joining a boxing gym for a while now to try it out but I've been pushing it aside due to me overthinking. Seeing this video has helped me make up my mind. I will join a local boxing gym in the following days!

DAAAMN, whole fight was clean af, well done.
Im 27 I started boxing on & off when i was 15 & i have always loved this sport, my dream is to improve upon my skill set & eventually put my skills to the test in the ring, i know i can go places & even if i dont ill have a hell of a story to tell my kids.
We have a similar mindset when it comes to boxing. I have a good story to tell my kids and I want them to know that I did not just quit on what I love.
Its never too late💪🏽⚡️
Awesome man! Keep it up! Respect from Serbia!
Thanks! Will do! I appreciate the support.
Amazing 💪
Congrats. Glad I stumble on this channel. Big ups to your camera guy for the pov.
Thank you. The cameraman definitely did me justice
Never too old to achieve a goal. Great job bro and best wishes in the future. Beast performance 💪🏾🥊💯
Thank you so much.
good job man proud of u
Thank you so much
you motivate me to start again boxing and become pro this time ty a lot man
Go for it if you can.
That’s awesome. It’s great to see guys continue to compete and push their physical boundaries. Keep it up champ!
Thank you so much
This is so dope man! I dont usually comment but this is super inspirational. Even I feel like I’m late starting boxing when I was 21 and just turned 22. Bout to start my amatuers in november and planning to go pro around 24-26. Great quality video with great motivation!
Thank you for the comment especially since you usually dont. Turning pro by 24-26 is not a bad time frame just try and get as many national tournaments in as you can.
Straight inspiration. Keep up the great work champ. You look sharp, , relaxed, focused and executed extremely well. You picked the punches correctly took control of the fight. Applied pressure and counted well. From one coach to another salute brother. Keep doing your thing you’re definitely gonna go a long way. Stay hungry stay blessed. Love, from New York.
Truly appreciate that. Thank you for real. Where are you a trainer at?
@@keysessoms freeport pal bc In Long Island Ny
First off..... Congratulations!!✨
Man you got some amazing foot-work🔥
Thank you for real. I think my foot-work is my best skill. Came from dancing.
Bro great video. Discovered your chaennel yesterday and keep up the work. I'm 24 going 25 and I'm going to do Both MMA and Boxing. I'm nervous and excited at the same time.
Being Nervous and Excited is good place to be
So glad I found this video, I was super disappointed I couldn’t come out to watch you fight live. Great performance bro 🎉
Thank you! I appreciate the love.
Congratulations I'm 43 working on my amateur fight. Thank you for the inspiration.

Hey man, you're good! Salute from Brazil! Keep going!
Thank you for the shout out all the way from Brazil.
Good Shit brother , 37 here just started sparring . Definitely gives you a different perspective and helps you answer some questions about yourself . Much Respect from New Haven CT
Thank you. It definitely will test you in ways that you have not been tested before.
U looked comfortable in there my man. I needed some motivation too as im 32 and started pretty late. Keep going bro
Thank you! I felt really comfortable. I was getting really good sparring in the build up to help me.
Props brother gave me some motivation 💪, great video keep up the work
Thank you
A video showcasing your usual boxing training routine would be so sick I can't lie 💯 I've been obsessed just watching a clip of you shadow boxing cuz you move so smoothly fr, would be pretty cool to see how you usually move in a bigger format 🔥
Thank you for watching for real! I am working on a day in the life right now. I'm trying to figure out how to structure it. I'm thinking showing some footage of me as a boxing coach and some of me training.
Woah... This is awesome.... At 25 i thought... I was too old to box...... Seeing you're vedio... And the comment's of people who started late really motivated me..... Going to hit boxing gym soon
Do it!
@kenyon just found out your Video..
I love your video.. Keep working for what you believe and Love..
God bless you..
Thank you so much. God bless you as well
Thank you for the motivation, I been training a year doing kickboxing and Im 26 years old, before with 16-18 years I did boxing, but never took really the chance and motivation. It's tough to stay consistent alongside work and study, but I will keep push forward. Thank you man really🙏
Combat sports are a great way to stay in shape whether you compete or not. No problem
I hope train with you one day💯 not only did you just inspire me but now I’m definitely going pro this year
You got this!
Keep doing your thing BROTHER
Most definitely will do.
Thank you so much for posting this video I wanted to start fighting in my 20s but circumstances happened and here. I am now at 33 next month.
I’m on a weight-loss journey and have a long way to go, but this gives me hope that I can still get out there and compete and win !!! You don’t know how much hope this gives me god bless
You got this! Just keeping pushing. I tell people if you are older and want to turn pro start getting your name out there because selling tickets is going to be key for you.
I’m 37 and happy to see this 😊. Just been Scared to pull the trigger. Thank You for the inspiration man. You look sharp 🥊
Listen its okay to be a little scared. At the end of the day taking the punches is no joke.
HAVE NO FEAR
Man that was awesome. 36 over got me contemplating getting my amateur license again man. You made me see we still have time on the clock to see what we are made of.
We definitely still have time especially for an amatuer fight.
This is definitely motivating it’s never to late don’t let life pass you by stop procrastinating
Something I'm still learning
God bless you king I love boxing my uncle Ron taught me the science God bless his soul I had two amateurs fights when I was 27 now I'm 32 you think it's to late champ
Thank you. I do not think it is to late depending on what you are trying to do and of course what level of talent you possess for boxing.
Love this, I was just talking to my wife about getting back in the ring, I'm also 34 bout to turn 35 next month, this really encouraged me, thank you💯💪🏾
No problem. If it makes sense and you feel like you have to so that you do not live with the regret go ahead.
I love this. I’ve started my boxing journey at 32, this was really inspiring to watch ⛓️🥊
Great to hear! Keep pushing. What are you trying to do with boxing?
@@keysessoms Thank you! I think at this point it’s just something I’ve fallen in love with and want to get good at. It’s really good for my head and I’d like to push myself to fight one day.
🔥🔥 Keep God in it Bro 🥊
Most definitely will do!
I love this.
Thank you.
Congrats bro! I’m 35 and still have dreams of boxing. Trained when I was about 18 and was getting ready for golden gloves. But I feel more energized, confident and. Mentally strong. I needed this
Get you a few amatuer fights in if you can then turn. Just make sure its the right situation
Im not gonna this video was perfect with the editing camera quality i wish more people would recognize you because you put in da work and you can see the work you put in
Thank you. I really appreciate that. In time hopefully, we will get the recognition.
I only just been getting interested in boxing, but I keep hearing all the greats were in their prime when they was 20-25, I’m 22 now and I was feeling like I’m late but you’re opening that shit up to my head.
I think all the gyms near me are for kids though, Id feel weird having a kid showing me up
Most fighters start to hit their stride around 24-28 and then enter their primes after that until their early 30's, but they are many exceptions to that.
Thanks for this champ on 31 years old u just motivated me to keep training toake it pro
No problem. Im happy I can help motivate you.
nice skills, much respect
Much appreciated
You looked like a seasoned pro to me. Good footwork good shot selection stiff jab great patience. Exciting to watch. Great job 👍🏾💪🏿🥊
Much appreciated! That means alot to me. I really worked hard in preparation for this fight.
@@keysessoms did you always want to box? What at this age sparked the desire to go for it. My mom's would not let me play formal football or boxing and I'm kinda glad. I love baseball can't watch basketball nowadays.
@@WarrenHolly i didn’t always want to box. I started when I was 21 because I got out of high school and didn’t know what else to do to be active and competitive. Gave boxing a try and fell in love with it.
Good show well done
Much appreciated
Outstanding "....
Thank you.
Looking good young man
Thank you. Much Appreciated.
Yoel Romero started at 32. With dedication and hard work you still got some time.
Yeah and he still going strong. He amazes me, no matter the outcome.
