The 2010 USA Boxing National Championships Return to Colorado Springs, July 12-17
Julie Goldsticker February 08, 2024
The USA Boxing National Championships, the premier amateur boxing event in the United States, will return to Colorado Springs, Colo., July 12-17, for the 2010 edition.
Over 200 of the nation’s top Olympic-style boxers in both the male and female divisions will compete in the tournament, which is being presented by the Daniels Fund and co-hosted by the Colorado Springs Sports Corporation.
“We are excited to have the USA Boxing National Championships back in Colorado Springs where the event has been successful,” said Mike Martino, Interim Executive Director. “With the support of the Daniels Fund, the Colorado Springs Sports Corporation and the U.S. Olympic Committee, this event will once again be one of the top sports events in Colorado.”
The USA Boxing National Championships, which moved north to Denver in 2009, will return to its long-time home in Colorado Springs for the 2010 edition. The Pikes Peak region has played host to the tournament in 20 of the last 22 years with the only exceptions being trips to Las Vegas in 2002 and Denver last year.
The first four days of competition will all be contested in Sportscenter I at the U.S. Olympic Training Center with preliminary round competition being contested July 12-14, and semifinal action taking place on July 15. The event will move to the Crowne Plaza Hotel on Saturday with men’s consolation bouts and women’s non-Olympic weight classes final round action being showcased in a matinee session on Saturday afternoon. Saturday night will feature an evening of Olympic-contested action with final round action in both the 10 men’s weight divisions and the three women’s Olympic weight divisions at 7 p.m.
Preliminary and semifinal action is open to the public and free of charge for all attendees. Spectators for the women’s finals on Saturday afternoon are encouraged to bring a donation for the women’s boxing program. Tickets for Saturday night’s action will go on sale on March 1 through www.ticketswest.com and are only $15 in advance and $20 at the door. Preferred seating and VIP tables are available for purchase through the Colorado Springs Sports Corporation at 634-7333 ext. 1009, or [email protected].
“The Sports Corp is genuinely thrilled that the USA Boxing National Championships will return to Colorado Springs, and that we can help host and promote this tremendous event again,” said Dave Palenchar, Chairman of the Colorado Springs Sports Corporation. “Our city has had the honor of hosting this event many times in the past, and each time, it has been a success. We look forward to showcasing the best of America’s Olympic-style boxers in the city that is the home of our Olympic movement as they train and prepare for the 2012 Olympic Games in London.”
The event is being presented by the Daniels Fund for the second straight year and USA Boxing appreciates the tremendous support of the outstanding philanthropic organization. “Bill Daniels wanted young people to have access to quality coaches and sports programs that teach discipline, confidence, and sportsmanship,” said Linda Childears, president and CEO of the Daniels Fund. “As a representative of his legacy, the Daniels Fund is honored to be associated with the USA Boxing National Championships - a positive, inspirational sporting event for Olympic hopefuls.”
Budweiser has signed on as the first gold sponsor for the 2010 USA Boxing National Championships and is returning to the amateur boxing scene following a long history with both USA Boxing and the tournament.
The women’s division will enjoy a historic USA Boxing National Championships following the IOC’s decision to add women’s boxing to the Olympic docket at the 2012 Olympic Games in London, England. Three women’s divisions have been added to Olympic action with the flyweight (106-112 lbs), lightweight (125-132 lbs) and (152-165 lbs) middleweight competitors all earning a shot at Olympic glory. Due to the IOC’s cap on the number of athletes who can compete in the Olympic Games, both male and female boxers will now compete in 10 weight classes at the 2010 USA Boxing National Championships.
Several top ranked boxers and returning champions are scheduled to compete in the event, including two-time Olympian and 2007 World Champion Rau’shee Warren (Cincinnati, Ohio) who is currently attempting to become the first U.S. boxer to compete in three Olympic Games. Local and regional qualifiers will take place across the nation to determine the final roster of competitors who will vie for a national title in Colorado Springs.
The USA Boxing National Championships have been held annually since 1888, making it the longest running amateur boxing tournament in the United States, and the event consistently showcases future Olympians and future World Champions. Former champions include Pernell Whitaker, Oscar De La Hoya, Sugar Ray Leonard, Floyd Mayweather, Jr., and Muhammad Ali (as Cassius Clay).
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).

AIBA adopts principles of WSB rules
The AIBA Executive Committee meeting today adopted the basic principles of the future World Series of Boxing Technical and Competition Rules. The rules have been designed with a view to ensuring spectacular boxing shows while giving top priority to the safety of the WSB boxers.
The WSB will be open to AIBA registered boxers between the ages of 18 and 35. There will be five weight categories: Bantam (54kg), Light (61kg), Middle (73kg), Light heavy (85kg) and Heavy (+91kg) and the weigh-in for the competition will take place 24-30 hours before the start of the first bout.
There will be 5 rounds of 3 minutes in the team competition and 7 rounds of 3 minutes in the Individual Championships. Match decisions will be based on points, Technical Knock-Outs, Knock-Outs and disqualifications – there will be no draws.
A new computerised scoring display with electronic input is being studied in order to provide an open scoring system that will be based on the so-called 10-point “Must System” (10-9, 10-8, 10-7, to indicate the winner of each round and rank the second-placed boxer based on the level of their performance). Scores will be publicly displayed at the end of each round and at the conclusion of the bout. The scores will be given by three judges seated ringside.
The boxing gloves used in the World Series of Boxing will be 8 ounces for bantamweight and lightweight and 10 ounces for all other weights. However, completely new boxing gloves are currently being developed specifically for the WSB.
