Google some gyms that are closest in your area and SHOW UP CONSISTENTLY.

Combat sports are some of the greatest hobbies that anyone can have. The physical, mental, and social benefits are noticeable after a year.

What if I wear glasses and could barely see without?

Search for a gym with good reviews.Walk in,be respectful, ask to train boxing. Listen what the coach says,do it. You get beat,you dont care... walk in again and again and again. In 1 year, BOOM you ll feel like a weapon

Boxer of 5+ years here.

I would call a few of your local clubs then maybe try a couple out see which you prefer then start going to that one regularly. Then if you want to around 6 months to a year after you start depending on your ability you can get registered and start having boxing bouts.

Look around at gyms, some are great but some are just places we're people hit each other in the head.

Go watch a class and see if they are Teaching or people are just hitting the bags till the end of time. Go watch them spar and see if the are training and working on skills or just having gym wars for their egos.

People shouldnt be going 100% in sparring unless they have a fight coming up.

Shop around, don't just go to the first place and be consistent, no one minds helping a beginner especially if they keep showing up and putting in work.

I wanted to take it up to, I'm 20, do you guys think it's a bit late for me?

Don't do boxing. Hits to the head kill your brain. Your brain is your most important asset and weapon.

do some other hobby where it doesn't involve slow but consistent brain damage.

Lots of former pros are half retarded now in combat sports. Even Joe Rogan talks about this, a fanatic
