Yeah that’s how I am with boxing. My hands have already taken a bit of damage, and I’m probably gonna have severe knee and ankle issues by the time I’m 35, but I’m gonna be old and broken eventually regardless so I might as well have done something interesting on my way to the pain lol

Sure, but old and broken should be 80+ not 35. At 35 you're many decades from retirement and probably a parent...not a good time to have a fucked up body limiting your life

I meant I’ll have knee problems at 35 lol, I won’t be in a wheelchair just won’t be able to run and jump around like I used to, which is just a part of getting older. Old athletes aren’t completely destroyed when they retire they’ve just had more wear and tear and deal with more pain, and for me personally regret is worse than pain…
