Beyond the Ring:
Community, Opportunity, Legacy

At its core, the Upper Midwest Golden Gloves is about people. We bring communities together through boxing, support local gyms, and open doors for athletes to develop and thrive. By preserving tradition while building new pathways, we help amateur boxing continue to change lives—both in and beyond the ring.

About UMGG

Golden gloves gave me the opportunity to pursue avenues in life that would otherwise be impossible.
