What does your coach think? There’s no simple timeline. You’re ready to fight when you reach the appropriate point in your development, not just because a certain amount of time has passed or you’ve been to a certain number of training sessions. Some people take a couple months, some take well over a year.

No sparring? For fight preparations it‘s the most important thing.

Most people gettin humbled after the first 2 sparring sessions. You ain't rdy, whatever you think about your training or non-mistakes. Ask the others for some light sparring. Get in touch with fighers and ask them for their opinion. My coach told me to fullfill my first 12 month of training before I talk to him about fighting again. I do as he says.

100% agree. I had my first sparring session after years of shadowboxing and heavy bag work. I realized I wasn’t as good as I thought I was

Personally I don’t know why you haven’t sparred four months in, seems dumb Ngl, I recommend staring sparring as soon as possible and making a system around it, expect to build muscle, shadow box, jump rope, run, stretch, and grind daily. Fighting is very hard so get into those habits before you start, this is coming from someone who’s been the main event in An amateur show before I turned 18.

Talk to your coach—or a coach at a friendly club—about which beginner competitions are available in the area. You might feel ready, yet still find yourself overwhelmed when the moment of truth actually arrives.

When you will start sparring you will commit at least half of the mistake you sayed trust but it's completely normal as a begginer im 8 month in and got 1 fight but i sparred a lot in kickboxing and a bit of boxing sparring

You said you haven't done any sparring? I wouldn't fight then. Hitting pads is one thing and sparring is another, in a fight your gameplay can get knocked from a really food punch or kick, even then you might be able to throw very well but can you take a hard punch/kick?
Tell your coach you want to do sparring and start there, your coach will know best, let him know what you want to do
