Sorry to bump a bloody old topic, the youngest active fighters I could find included a 13 year old called Rungnapha Sithsophon (female)


Johnny Curry was said to be 11 when he debuted

I trained at the same gym in Chicago with a kid by the name of Joey Ruiz who turned pro at 15.
Angelo Dundee was working with him for a bit too I think. He was a good fighter. Just looked up his record.He won a state title. He stopped fighting at 24 or so.

Former WBA Cruiserwieght Champion, Robert Daniels turned pro back in March of 1984 at age 15.

Not true. I managed Robert and he was 17 when he turned pro.

I'll second that, Rick, for what it's worth. I co-managed Robert in 1996-97, and when he went through a bankruptcy hearing sometime in '97, he answered about his date of birth under oath, indicating that it was August 30, 1966, not the same date in 1968. So I guess I will be wishing him a Happy 51st birthday in a matter of days. I think he is eligible for the Florida Boxing Hall of Fame next year.....

He certainly wasn't the youngest, but a nod to Florida Light Heavyweight James Salerno who was reported to have had his pro first fight at age 15.
