I`m shamelessly copying your concept, JohnnyBench, with some modification. I try a scheme that checks four times a year for an increase or decrease in a fighter`s ability. For example, a 20-year pld fighter has a 30% chance every three months of increasing an attribute, he also has a 5% chance of decreasing an arttibute. Which attribute changes is determined randomly, modified by the type of boxer. On the other hand a 37-year-old fighter has a 60% chance of an attribute loss. While a boxer in his prime years has a lower likelihood of losing or gaining additionally abilities.
I also start in 1900, with 200 fictional fighters in the heavyweight division, in contrast to the in-game aging system (beginners, pre-prime...) you will see individual developments in fighter`s abilities that makes it more fun to follow their careers.
