USA Boxing is the national governing body for Olympic-style boxing. It is overseen by the United States Olympic Committee and World Boxing, which sets its rules.[1][2][3]

Headquartered in Colorado Springs, Colorado, USA Boxing is a non-profit organization responsible for the administration, development and promotion of Olympic-style boxing in the United States.[4]

USA Boxing comprises 56 Local Boxing Committees, which are grouped into 13 geographical regions. These LBCs, along with the coaches, athletes, and officials, form the backbone of USA Boxing and Olympic-style boxing in the United States. Boxing facilities, coaches, officials and athletes may be affiliated with USA Boxing, with athletes receiving an official "passbook" to be presented and marked at all sanctioned events. Athletes are classified according to age, gender and weight, with boxers younger than seventeen known as "juniors" and those thirty-five or older known as "masters".

History

USA Boxing, formerly known as the United States Amateur Boxing Federation, has governed amateur and Olympic boxing in the United States since 1978.[5] USA Boxing officially recognized women's boxing in 1993, becoming the first organization to do so in the world with a fight between Dallas Malloy & Heather Poyner in Lynwood, Washington.[6][1] In 2022, the organization made some policy updates, which granted transgender athletes the ability to compete in sanctioned events; upon completing specific requirements.[7][8][9]

The national boxing championships are sponsored by USA Boxing and titled the United States Championships, formerly the AAU (Amateur Athletic Union) Boxing Championships.[10] The Championships would crown a United States Amateur Champion in each of the sanctioned weight classes.[11]

USA Boxing previously organized the USA Knockouts team in the World Series of Boxing.

In February 2023, USA Boxing announced its decision to boycott the 2023 World Championships (organized by the International Boxing Association) where Russian and Belarusian athletes will compete with no restrictions, also accusing the IBA of attempting to sabotage IOC-approved qualification pathway for the 2024 Summer Olympics. Poland, Switzerland, the Netherlands, Great Britain, Ireland, Czechia, Sweden and Canada later joined the U.S.[12] USA Boxing co-founded World Boxing as a direct rival to the IBA, and it was launched in April 2023.[13][14][15][16]
