I'm 22 years old male. Really unfit, slowly trying to eat healthier, and I'm a lazy fuck but I want to start exercising as well. I while ago I tried weight lifting but I have scoliosis, my posture is terrible, and as I couldn't execute the compound lifts well enough I ended up hurting myself even more.
I was looking into a sport to do and... I'm getting interested in boxing, as a friend of mine practices it, I've been reading on the subject and it seems really interesting.
Thing is, I'm obviously scared of being hurt beyond repair, and I'm very unfit, so I don't know if I need some kind of baseline before even thinking about joining a gym.
Opinions? At amateur level is it a 'healthy' sport? Or am I better off looking for something which main aim isn't to hurt eachother? If so, I'm open to suggestions.

practice recreative boxing, not amateur
state that you have an invented sickness or syndrome or something if any coaches wanna make you spar, but they wont make it if you barely start practising
sparring is for seniors

Boxing is cool, you don't have to step in the ring or spar or anything to do it, and that's usually fine. But the thing is practicing isn't the cool part.
You should do it, practice until you want to try sparring. There are few things that work to get a man motivated like testing his fighting ability, it will be effective in getting you in shape probably for this reason. Try it, you'll die early if you're fat anyway.

Jiu jitsu and yoga are growing in popularity, you might look into that if there's some trainers near you.
