(DEC 6) The 2017 USA Boxing Elite
and Youth National Championships & Junior and Prep Open
presented by SHOWTIME Sports has brought over 600 boxers to Salt
Lake City, Utah’s Salt Palace Convention Center.
This year’s tournament kicked off today (Dec 5) with action
packed boxing, including the crowning of 11 new champions in the
prep and junior divisions, which are listed below.
The evening session began with a bang, as one of the most highly
anticipated matchups, Stacia Suttles (Bronx, N.Y.), 2016
international gold medalist and USA National Champion, against
Diana Estrada (Hilsboro, Ore.), who was making her elite debut
after just boxing earlier this week at the 2017 Youth Women’s
World Championships, kicked off the session. The matchup did not
disappoint, with Suttles walking away with a close split
decision victory.
The session continued to be impressive, as nine elite female
boxers advanced one step closer to Saturday’s championship
bouts.
With 2018 being a very important year for the youth divisions,
the youth male boxers put on a show to close out the day. This
year’s tournament will help determine which athletes could
potentially represent Team USA at next year’s Youth Olympics and
Youth World Championships.
This year’s tournament concludes one of the most successful
years for USA Boxing and helps determine those who will become
part of the 2018 High Performance squad for Team USA. This marks
the second year that the junior divisions have participated in
these National Championships and the first for the prep
divisions.
