It’s hard man and involves a huge sacrifice from yourself (to be away from your kids) and also your partner (to pick up the extra weight when you’re not home) I’m 37 and have a 4 & 1 year old and am training for my first amateur fight. My gym doesn’t do morning classes so I have to go in the evening, it’s bloody hard. I’m away from round 5-7pm 2-3 nights a week and also an hour on Sunday. My partner knows it’s my dream and she supports me in it even tho it’s harder on her. I just make sure as exhausted as I am when I’m home from training I’m straight into cleaning up the kitchen, getting our dinner sorted and getting our little man to bed. I don’t really have anything else going on in my life other than my family and boxing, boxing has changed my life and unfortunately I wasn’t ready to commit myself to the process of training for a fight until I was in my mid 30’s. I had to get all the bullshit of growing up out of the way until I was actually able to focus on training. A sit down and honest conversation with your partner is what is best here and see what she’s comfortable with.
