 The History of Chicago Golden Gloves Charities


Since 1923, the Chicago Golden Gloves boxing tournament has been one of the great traditions of sport in one of the greatest cities in America. Over the past 80 years, just a few of the boxers who have won the prestigious “Chicago Golden Gloves Champion” title include Cassius Clay, Joe Louis, Sonny Liston and numerous US Olympians. A bout in process

Chicago Golden Gloves Charities believes that training in boxing instills a sense of self-respect and accomplishment in the youth of our community who, at this impressionable age, are choosing their path in life. Thousands of young men, and now some young women, have learned discipline, self-esteem and how to realize goals through daily training at various boxing clubs throughout greater Chicagoland.

We understand that boxing can't save every young man, but we know that given opportunity through sport, lives can be guided and shaped, resulting in positive, productive citizens.
