How old is too old to start a career in boxing?

Or at the least to compete? I’m 20 but I want to try getting into boxing

30? To be realistic. Although strictly speaking you could still peak by 35. Stay active 5 years and do well. It isn't quite as simple as just age.

20 is perfectly fine. Most of us hit peak physical condition in the late 20s. 25-27 I'd personally estimate is an ordinary ideal. Your reaction, while worse than energy drink 14 year old you, is still impressive. Your body likely has never been stronger.

So anyhow. 20 totally works.

20 is perfectly fine you have enough time to go through amateur boxing 🥊 and then with your experience turn professional if you’re good

Honestly if I were you I would not choose boxing, I would choose Japanese jujitsu or MMA, I have followed several martial arts, one of them is karate but I am not satisfied because their fighting style is incomplete, (hitting and kicking) but doesn't teach (ground fighting), unlike MMA and Jujitsu Japanese which uses two fighting styles. As far as I know, boxing only uses a fighting style (hitting and kicking).

I don't think so, but I'm not an expert. Let's see what my friend @Iron_Man has to say. He was a former boxer. If I were you, I'd choose Shaolin Kung fu though, it's the strongest martial art in the world

Depends how ambitious you are. The people you complete with have been at it for years
