Would anyone know how old do you have to be to see a boxing match, reason being is that I would like to take my 12 year old son, he`s well into boxing. There are possible boxing matches coming up in Cardiff, possibly in the Millennium stadium soon all being well, would love to take him to there to see it.

Not sure of age restrictions but can get a bit naughty in the crowd some times ( in particular if its an all UK fight) between the sets of fans.

No promoter would ever restrict who can or cannot come to his show.

The poster above is quite correct though; they can and often do become quite lairy. Expect extreme foul language and the possibility of violence breaking out.

I've seen mass brawls at junior kickboxing matches!

Alcohol and fight fans don't go together all that well I'm afraid.

better off starting him off on some junior aba gym shows.more kids there and cheaper to boot.agree with others here that for some reason pissed up fight fans tend to think they are as hard as the blokes in the ring and so you do get exhuberance in abundance,particularly at local derbys and the like
