The Tacoma Athletic Commission (TAC) is proud to present the 76th Annual Golden Gloves
Boxing Tournament on January 25, 2025. This event is the longest consecutive tournament running
west of the Mississippi. The TAC is proud of its role of leadership in Tacoma-Pierce County
Athletics. The Golden Gloves Tournament is a major fundraising event of the TAC which in turn
has allowed the TAC to financially support many local athletes and provide improvements to
many sports facilities over the last 76 years. Athletes like Olympic Gold Medalist Kay Hall,
Boxing Gold Medalists Sugar Ray Seales and Leo Randolph, Bronze Medalist David Lee
Armstrong, golfer Mark Sivara, gymnast Roni Barrlos, and track star Aaron Williams all were
assisted by the TAC in route to national and international championships. Baseball star Ron Cey
and footballs Ahmad Rashad (then Bobby Moore) began their careers in Boys and Girls Clubs
programs aided by the TAC.
Our Golden Gloves program is designed to encourage a positive lifestyle for young people.
Some of Tacomas greats began their amateur and professional careers as Golden Gloves
champions. The list of best known include Freddie Steele, Pat McMurtry, Sugar Ray Seales, Leo
Randolph, Davey Armstrong, Mylon Watkins, Rocky Lockridge, Johnny Bumphus and Emmett
Linton Jr. These athletes could not have reached national prominence without the support of the
Pierce County community. The Names Family and Scotts Athletic Supply were stalwarts in
supporting these athletes. Over the years, uniforms, gauze, tape, and protective gear were
graciously donated. In addition, monetary contributions were made to help defer travel expenses.
The Tacoma Golden Gloves is sanctioned as the venue for the State of Washington Amateur
Boxing Championships. However, teams travel throughout the northwest and as far as Canada
and Alaska to participate in this tradition-rich event. Champions in each weight classification advance to the regional tournament. |
