Retired extrovert pro Athanus Nzau is calling on boxers to consider joining paid ranks while still young and energetic. He reckons that turning pro at an early age enables pugilists to fight more competitively thereby realising their protential in the bare- chested game when they have the energy to do so. Nzau said many boxers turn pro as late as past 35 years while the reality is that you can never make it unless a miracle happens. “The best age to turn professional is between 19 to 22. I honestly believe we waste so much time in amateur ranks because we lack good promoters.
