The 2012 London Games are just around the corner, and boxing fans across America will soon be introduced to the next crop of future stars at next year’s U.S. Olympic Trials.
This Saturday marks the first step toward anointing the next Andre Ward, as San Francisco’s Fight and Fitness Club plays host to the Region 11 Golden Gloves Championship, which will pit some of the best amateurs of Northern California against their Central California counterparts.
The winners will move on to April 2’s State Golden Gloves Tournament in Vacaville, whose victors will fight in the National Golden Gloves Tournament in Indianapolis on April 25. It is here where the ultimate champions of each weight division will automatically earn one of the eight coveted spots for the 2012 Olympic Trials.
Among the diverse group of hopefuls to watch include an accomplished Starbucks barista, a converted martial artist, and a former cast member of MTV’s “Road Rules.”
