Answer
32 would be considered a bit old to begin boxing as a career.  If you are in the heavier weights, you could conceivably box amateur for a couple of years for the experience and then turn pro.  If you are interested in finding a gym and want to register, please email me at mel@amateurboxing.com and I will send you a contact.  I'll need to know the city/state/country you live in.
