Question
Hi
How you doing today?
I`m 31yrs young from India,i have learn karate a decade ago from then onwards i`m not in practice however i want to start boxing.
If i start now can i make it by 2012 Olympics ?
Most boxers who participate in the Olympics have at least 9 years local, national and international experience. It would be almost impossible for you to make the 2012 India Olympic boxing team. And, unfortunately, by 2016 you will be too old (maximum age is 34). If you want to box I suggest you do so at the local level.
