For the first time in history,
Washington State will host the REGIONAL Golden Gloves of America, marking a major milestone for boxing in the Pacific Northwest. This two-day championship event brings together top amateur boxers from Washington, Oregon, and Alaska and positions Seattle as the new home of Regional-level Golden Gloves competition.
This is not a District tournament. This is the
Regional Golden Gloves, the gateway to the National Golden Gloves, and a rare opportunity for sponsors to align with a historic moment in amateur boxing.
A Historic First for Washington BoxingFor decades, boxers from our region have competed in District Golden Gloves tournaments, with Tacoma proudly hosting Districts for more than 77 years. While District champions advanced, they were required to travel out of state to compete at the Regional level, as our region never hosted its own Regional event.
With official approval from
Golden Gloves of America, Washington State has now earned the opportunity to host the REGIONAL Golden Gloves. This shift keeps competition local, increases exposure for athletes and programs, and strengthens the entire boxing ecosystem in the Pacific Northwest.
A Premier Venue and Elevated ExperienceThe Finals will be held at
Fremont Studios in Seattle. Fremont Studios is a professional, high-caliber venue known for hosting major events and brand activations. The space allows boxing to be presented at a championship level and provides sponsors with strong on-site visibility in a polished, well-produced environment.
From ring-side branding to sponsor banners, booths, and premium placements, this venue creates meaningful opportunities for sponsors to be seen and recognized.
National-Level Visibility and Exclusive AccessSponsors of the Regional Golden Gloves receive more than logo placement. Opportunities include:
- Prominent brand visibility across event posters, website, and marketing materials
- On-site branding and ring-level exposure during the event
- Category exclusivity for select sponsorship levels
- Social media recognition and verbal acknowledgments during the event
- VIP ticket packages and premium seating
Select sponsorship levels also include access to an exclusive
VIP meet and greet with boxing legend Roberto Durán, who will be attending the Finals in support of the event. His presence elevates the profile of the championship and creates a unique experience for sponsors and guests.
Supporting Athletes Beyond the EventSponsorship support directly impacts the athletes. Funds raised help cover event production costs and support boxers, coaches, and officials who qualify for the
National Golden Gloves in Tulsa, Oklahoma. This includes travel, lodging, meals, and competition-related expenses, ensuring that athletes who earn their place at Nationals are fully supported.
For businesses looking for a simple way to contribute, a
$500 donation provides logo placement on the official boxing bags used by the national boxing team, offering meaningful visibility while directly supporting the athletes.
Community-Driven and Coach-LedThe Regional Golden Gloves in Washington are managed by Nomad Boxing in Seattle, with Head Coach Manny Dunham leading the effort. This event is built through collaboration across gyms, coaches, officials, sponsors, and supporters. Sponsorship is not just a marketing opportunity, but a chance to invest in the growth and future of boxing in our region.
Looking ForwardWashington State has now earned the opportunity to host the REGIONAL Golden Gloves going forward. This inaugural event sets the foundation for future championships and reflects the strength of the Pacific Northwest boxing community. With continued support, the long-term vision is to grow this event and eventually bring the
National Golden Gloves to Washington State.
