Olympic-Style Boxing

Olympic-style boxing is one of the most popular of the Olympic sports. The lights, the ring, the boxers, the action-packed excitement and the thrill of competition constitutes the mental picture the general public has of Olympic-style boxing.

Behind the scenes of competition is a large national network that administers, governs and regulates the sport of Olympic-style boxing in the United States. This conglomeration of athletes, officials, coaches, administrators, medical personnel and enthusiasts is United States Amateur Boxing, Inc.

USA Boxing, as the National Governing Body for Olympic-style boxing, is the United States member organization of the International Amateur Boxing Association (AIBA). USA Boxing is responsible for the administration, development and promotion of Olympic-style boxing in the Unites States.

With its headquarters in Colorado Springs, Colorado, USA Boxing sponsors a host of programs, from developing the sport and its athletes at the local, regional and national levels, to sponsoring national and international dual competitions and selecting teams for international events, including the Olympic Games, World Championships and Pan American Games.*
