COLORADO SPRINGS, COLO. – For the first time in the history of USA Boxing,
the Men and Women’s U.S. Championships will be a combined event, March
13-19, 2005 at the Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs. Over 300 of
the nation’s top amateur boxers are expected to compete in the event in the
Pikes Peak region.
While the Men’s U.S. Championships generally take place in March, the
women’s event is moving from the summer months to the March event. The
qualifying process will remain the same for both the men and women with the
men having to go through local, state and regional tournaments and the women
going through qualifying events to receive travel stipends. The event will
remain open for women paying their open travel expenses.
The U.S. Championships is the premier event of the year for both the men and
women, and the 2005 event will be ground-breaking as it is combined for the
first time.
USA Boxing, as the national governing body for Olympic-style boxing, is the
United States’ member organization of the International Amateur Boxing
Association (AIBA) and a member of the United States Olympic Committee (USOC).
