Question
hi, I'm from Egypt and I'm 27 years old and i like to start boxing, is it too late, will i have a chance to compete or it is too late?
27 is considered a bit late to start boxing as an amateur - however, if you are anywhere from 178 to over 200 Lbs., you might have a chance. For information on amateur boxing in Egypt, you can contact:
