Minimum Age

Post by franko1990 »

What is the minimum legal age that you can professionally box in Australia because I always thought it was 18 in Australia but then I came across this kid?

I don't know what the minimum age is now, Rose and Famechon both started fighting professionally at 16. I think it depends on the minimum age of when you can go to work. I saw the record of Tony Pappa who started fighting at 16 in the 1990s.

Minimum age in Oz is 18. Either DOB is incorrect, or he managed to get through the net, which is quite possible given he's a 74kgs boy.

His first fight was 5 months before his 17th birthday.
