More than 120 boxers from 17 countries are set to take part in the ‘World Boxing Cup: USA International Invitational’ in Pueblo, Colorado this week, 16-20 April 2024.
It is the second event of this year’s series and follows the ‘World Boxing Cup: GB Open’, which took place in Sheffield, England in January.
The event in Pueblo features a high-quality field with almost half of the boxers already having secured a place at this summer’s Olympic Games, including six boxers from the home nation line-up: Jennifer Lozano (50kg), Jajaira Gonzalez (60kg), Morelle McCane (66kg), Jahmal Harvey (57kg), Omari Jones (63.5 kg) and Joshua Edwards (92kg+).
Other Paris 2024 boxers that will be looking to use the event as part of their Olympic preparations include Canadian world champion, Tammara Thibeault (75kg) and Australia’s Caitlin Parker (75kg) who have both recently joined World Boxing’s Athlete’s Committee. Parker is part of a strong Australian team, which includes 12 boxers that will be competing at the 2024 Olympics.
Other Paris-bound competitors in the USA this week include: Delicious Orie (92kg+), Charley Davison (57kg) and Chantelle Reid (75kg) from Great Britain; China’s Qian Li (75kg) and Abner Teixeira (92kg) from Brazil.
The five-day competition will take place across all 13 Olympic weight categories, seven for men and six for women. There will be two sessions per day [at 12:00 and 18:00 Mountain Time (MT) / 19:00 and 01:00 Central European Time (CET)] for the first four days and one session for the final day of action (12:00 MT).
The draw for the event, which is being delivered by USA Boxing in association with World Boxing, will take place on 15 April 2024.
