Boxing is a sport where the fists are your investment. Some call it barbaric, others call it a game. Either way, some great boxers were born into it; others were born to test themselves with it.
Start young
The greatest boxers in the world did not crop out of nowhere. They rose into greatness thanks to their early experiences that led them to boxing. Anecdotes of boxers would typically illustrate that they were pushed into boxing at early ages. Thus, their careers begun and they grew up with it.
Train hard
An oaf does not become a genius overnight. Well some greats seem to have real talents with boxing, many of them were products of consistent training and development of their skills. Like in all sports, you just don’t grow muscles that make you box better or will that makes you stand the blows from the opponent. You have to invest something on boxing which more often than not, go a long way into your boxing career.
Hurt yourself
This is probably one of the sadder truths in boxing- no one is invisible to the blows. So take them for they are parts of the sport. Some of them are hard, some of them are even harder but you cannot choose if you want to follow the paths of the greats.
Never look at it as a personal fight
Professional boxing is not only termed so because someone gets to benefit from it professionally. Boxing is not limited to the monetary benefits. Professional boxing is professional because boxers typically have the full knowledge that everything that happens on the ring is just for the fulfillment of the game. It is not a personal fight between two guys. It is just a game, like most other games. Thus, keep your emotions at bay for once emotions get into the fight, it is a sure way to lose it.
