Peacock will stream live coverage of the final day of the 2024
U.S. Olympic Team Trials for Boxing this Saturday, Dec. 9, at 1

win their weight class this weekend will advance to the High
Performance Selection Camp in January, where they will be among
the few selected to compete for spots on the U.S. Olympic team
competing in Paris next summer.

Games, Team USA has already pre-selected five boxers for Paris
2024: Jajaira Gonzalez (women’s 60 kg), Jahmal Harvey (men’s 57
kg), Jennifer Lozano (women’s 50 kg), Morelle McCane (women’s 66
kg), and Joshua Edwards (men’s 92+ kg).
The best boxers in America will be competing this weekend for
the chance to represent their country on the biggest stage in
international athletics. On the men’s side, 2022 elite national
champions Dedrick Crocklem and Jordan Roach, as well as two-time
youth national champion Benjamin Johnson, are all expected to
step into the ring this weekend.
On the women’s side, defending U.S. Olympic Trials champion and
four-time national champion Lupe Gutierrez headlines the field.
Additionally, 2022 youth world champion Yoseline Perez, two-time
youth national champion Sa’Rai Brown-El, and 2021 Junior
Pan-American Games champion Kayla Gomez are also all expected to
compete this weekend.
Live coverage on Peacock will begin on Saturday, Dec. 9, at 1
p.m. ET. David Austin will announce the action alongside 2016
Rio Olympian and 2012 world championship bronze medalist Mikaela
Mayer.
Preliminary rounds will be available live and on demand on the
USA Boxing website Monday-Thursday at 6 p.m. ET and
Friday-Saturday at Noon ET.
A full schedule of NBC Sports’ coverage of the 2024 U.S. Olympic
Team Trials will be announced at a later date.
