Question
Hi Jackson,
I finally got to check the golden glove site you sent me although it is a new site here: http://www.goldengloves.us/corpsite/application/index.php
I cannot find anything on there if there is a golden glove gym in my area. Are you familiar with the new site or anything of how I can sure know if there is one in my area?
Thanks,
James
Hi James, Yea I noticed they changed the site but they didn't put back up all the club locations. Go to USAboxing.org and click on "memberships". There is a list of all the clubs there. These are all the USA boxing and golden gloves sanctioned clubs. There may be other small private clubs not listed and probably don't even have a website or email so I would proceed with caution if they are not an actual franchisee of USA of golden gloves.
goo luck,
Jackson

Expertise
I can answer any questions related to boxing and training. I can help anyone prepare for professional or amateur bouts. My trainer/boss of 24 years is in the Golden Gloves Hall of Fame and trained the heavyweight champion of the world. Holyfield, Roy Jones Jr., Bernard Taylor, Billy Bridges, Frankie Randall just to name a few of the boxers who have passed thru the Southerns and/or trained at our gym.
Experience
I have been in the sport of boxing since 1984. I started as a boxer and advanced quickly. I was lucky enough to have some of the best sparring in the country with 3 top ten pros in my very gym. I am fortunate enough to live near one of the better boxing programs in the country. We have cultivated our facility into the largest Amateur Boxing Gym in the country. In the mid 90's I became a trainer for Golden Gloves. I train amateur and pro fighters. I have worked in many corners at USA and Golden Glove tournaments. I have worked corners in pro bouts on HBO and ESPN cards. My friend, boss and coach is the former President of Golden Gloves and I trained under his tutelage.
Organizations
I am a certified Golden Gloves/USA Boxing Coach. I am also a licensed to work pro bouts in several states.
