Can you start boxing at 16 and become a pro?

Yes, many successful boxers started at your age and older.

I'd say yes, looking at how young most world heavyweight champions are. Granted you'll have an almost impossible time getting quite that high in the professional circuit, but you'll likely be late twenty's by the time you hit your peak, which is still plenty of time to make money enough to retire on.

Larry Holmes didn't start boxing until he was 19 and he is an all time great.

It's never too late to learn a new skill.

yeah go for it best to start at your age now

sure. you'll have to work seriously hard and properly commit to it but its definitely possible if your up for it

I'm 16, I like boxing and could start now but my parents are very strict...or start at 18 at uni, I'll be very dedicated and I also do shadow boxing....I try and represent real situations in rings
