Why it matters

As Golden Gloves of America passes its hundredth year, a lot has changed and much has stayed the same. The mission now includes young men and women alike, and at its core is still the main ingredient: to provide opportunities to build character, self-respect and lasting leadership skills.

Throughout its history the Golden Gloves has been a place for a young person to challenge themselves. Some come to achieve a personal goal, some to be part of a team, and others to achieve success in their community.

Walk into any boxing gym and you see the make-up of the boxers and the camaraderie they share. Boxers learn respect for each other, and that they are alike in more ways than they are different.

“Boxing is the ultimate challenge. There’s nothing that can compare to testing yourself the way you do every time you step in the ring.”

Sugar Ray Leonard, 1973 and 1974 national champion
