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.

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.

Aussie Jeff Flash Malcolm turned pro at 15 years old in 1971 registered his 100 professional victory in 2002 it took him 31 year's to get the ton

Nipper Pat Daly was the youngest professional...
