The 2023 USA Boxing National Qualifier will head to Huntington Place in downtown Detroit from March 18-25, to kick off a busy year of amateur Olympic-style boxing throughout the country.
Over 1,000 boxers from across the USA, ages 8-40, will be in Detroit during the week-long national tournament, which will also serve as the second qualifier to next December’s 2024 U.S. Olympic Team Trials for Boxing for boxers competing in the elite division.
The event will be the first of five planned national tournaments for USA Boxing in 2023.
Detroit has a rich history of Olympic amateur-style boxing. Olympic boxers to come from Detroit and Michigan include Olympic gold medalists Eddie Crook Jr. (1960), Steve McCrory (1984) and Frank Tate (1984), as well as two-time Olympic Gold Medalist Claressa Shields (2012 and 2016) hails from Flint, Michigan. The state has also produced numerous national champions and USA Boxing national team members over the years.
The Detroit weekend will kick off with a meet and greet at Thomas Magee’s Sports House on Saturday, March 18 at 4:00 p.m. This event will be open to the public.
The USA Boxing Alumni Association will host a Michigan Alumni Celebration Banquet on Sunday, March 19 at the Fort Pontchartrain Ballroom at the Wyndham Hotel to honor the rich history of amateur boxing in the state of Michigan. Buy tickets for the Alumni Banquet here.
