Question
How do you get into the US national boxing team?
The U.S. national team is probably comprised of the top four in each weight class. You must be a U.S. citizen, at least 17 years old and not more than 34, have a minimum of 5 scored bouts in your passbook to enter an advancing tournament, and be ranked in the top four in the U.S. The ranking tournaments are the U.S. Championships, Golden Gloves and National PAL.
