This is probably one of those common starting forum topics. It is known that solid amateur fighters (especially those with Olympic and related pedigree) start bit more "later" in pro boxing, ranging from 24 to 28 years old, and those starting after this age may be considered for some as "old".
* There are some over 30's boxers I find in the schedule here, but most of them are tough guys that decided to start late in pro boxing (an admirable feat IMO) but most don't have solid career bouts.
I did some researches and I found just a few solid boxers who started from (at least) 30 years old, that had with many good/solid wins or even with some relevant title win (even not being world title) and some that debuted closer to 29 and 30 years of age.
These are some of the active/inactive ones that I found and their respective age when debuted.
Shiming Zou, ~32
Zhilei Zhang, 31
Ronny Landaeta, 31
Luis Ortiz, ~31
Lucas Browne, ~30
Eduard Troyanovsky ~30
Emil Markic ~30
Sean Monaghan ~29
Hadillah Mohoumadi ~29
Nieky Holzken ~29
Guillermo Rigondeaux ~29
* Gabriel Adrian Pereiro, 32 (bottom feeder), in my view doesn't count, but is here to tell.
If you guys know more names (active or not), please write so we can expand the list.
Many thanks!
