Question
I was wondering if you could give me a list of the weight divisions...I am wanting to pick up where I left off in high school and start competing. I wrestled all my life and boxed a little for two years in high school, how do I compete?
Hi Blake,
Go to goldenglovesofamerica.com and click "franchises"... find a location near you...it is free to train at a golden gloves and you get good training. They will register you as an amateur so you can compete in as many shows as you want.

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.
