WE ARE EXPERIENCED
Over 90 Years Supporting Olympic Style Boxing
Since 1936 Kansas City Golden Gloves has given back everything they can for the community by allowing young athletes to show off their gifted talents and show what we are as a brand name for the people of Kansas City.
“The hero and the coward both feel the same thing. But the hero uses his fear, projects it onto his opponent, while the coward runs. It’s the same thing, fear, but it’s what you do with it that matters.”

More than 90 years of amateur boxing!
Mission Statement:
The KC Golden Gloves is dedicated to amateur boxing as a way to develop discipline, respect, and wellness in its athletes and empower the next generation of leaders and citizens in the Kansas City area.
Vision Statement:
With a rich history, the sport of boxing provides an environment for teaching and inspiring confidence, work ethic, physical and emotional well-being, sportsmanship, social development and a culture of citizenship. Our vision is to create a community of dedicated athletes, coaches, officials, spectators, and supporters of amateur boxing to achieve our mission.
What We Do:
- Support local boxing gyms: KC Golden Gloves provides equipment, coach certification and training to local boxing clubs in Kansas City. We are actively involved in creating new boxing clubs in the KC area and beyond. KC Golden Gloves provides training and certification for local officials through USABoxing, the governing body for amateur boxing in the United States.
- Scholarship Program: KC Golden Gloves offers scholarships to student athletes. To date, we have given over $150,000 in educational scholarships to over 100 athletes. We are proud to support these
outstanding athletes and next generation of leaders in our community. - Travel Grants: KC Golden Gloves provides travel grants for athletes to attend tournaments and each year sends the top local boxers to represent Kansas City at the National Golden Gloves tournament.
- Produces world-class entertainment: Boxing is a spectator sport! KC Golden Gloves hosts the oldest sporting event in Kansas City, the KC Golden Gloves regional championships. The organization also supports tournaments and events throughout the year to showcase the incredible talent in our community and give our athletes the opportunity to gain experience and see the results of their discipline and dedication to the sport of boxing.
