Question
hello i want to fight in next years colorado golden gloves but i dont know how to enter also i am not a citizen of the us so what would i have to bring to sign up

Answer
You will need to register with USA Boxing in Colorado as an athlete and also have a registered and certified coach work your corner.  As a non-citizen you won't be able to compete in any advancing tournaments.  If you have 10 or less bouts experience by March or April of next year, you could compete in the novice division of the Colorado Golden Gloves.  Please email me at mel@amateurboxing.com and I'll give you a contact in Colorado.
