I'm just starting to go a new Amateur club next week, but am 27, only doing it for fitness/fun dont expect nothing from it as haven't really properly boxed since I was a kid, just wandered is it worthwhile me goin or should I look at white collar etc?

[Jeff Thomas]

Some decent lads on the White collar (semi pro???) circuit but the best route will always be through the ams- better standard of opposition, credible titles, etc etc

White collar does have it's place though-

If you like to fight, then get into white collar.

I think boxing safer with medical a 51 year old man went in to unlicensed boxing dint even train to and I watch the fights an they was worse then brazil in world cup for falling
