I'm 16 year old girl and I have a strong interest in fighting. I'm 5'10" 218 lbs with upper and lower body strength (mostly upper though). I want to take up a sport and I think that Boxing would be a good choice for me since I like to fight. I have the mind set to be a good fighter. The only thing I'm worried about is my physical ability. I'm sure with a good coach and plenty of training I could easily get in shape for this type of sport, but as of now I'm not in good shape at all. Since I'm a girl, though, I'm worried about A) being able to find a good trainer and B) people taking me seriously. I know that this sport is male-dominated but are females in this industry discriminated against? I'm not looking to go pro or anything..just some amateur fights. Is this a good sport for me to uptake?
Thanks for any help or recommendations.
Also, is height an advantage or disadvantage when it comes to boxing?
