Boxing - I need to understand


Expert: Melanie Ley - 6/13/2009

Question
Ok i am 14 Turing 15 in July this year i have been boxing
since 12'15'08 and i wanted to know do ages below 18 have
any golden gloves and if they do do you win titles medals
trophy and what weighs class do they have and how do i face
people my age or other

Answer
There are the Junior Golden Gloves for boxers 8 to 16.  There is a qualifying process to be able to go to the national tournament.  Sounds to me like you need a USA Boxing registered coach and gym to train in - where your coach will know what tournaments you are eligible for and the weights.
