Team USA Heads to England for 2025 World Boxing Championships Preparation

The 2025 USA Boxing Elite High Performance team will depart for Sheffield, England, on Saturday, August 16, for the team's acclimation camp in preparation for the 2025 World Boxing Championships. Team USA announced earlier this month that it will be represented by fourteen boxers at the inaugural World Boxing Championships that will take place in Liverpool, England, from September 4 to 14.

The acclimation camp will be hosted inside Great Britain Boxing’s training facility in Sheffield, England, from August 17 to September 1, and will see boxers from various nations preparing for the World Boxing Championships. Following the acclimation camp, Team USA will travel to Liverpool, where they will pursue gold medals inside M&S Bank Arena.

Seven men and seven women will represent the Stars and Stripes, including five Olympians, one world champion, and one youth world champion. The 14 boxers have earned a total of 16 medals in 2025, including two gold medals, five silver medals and nine bronze medals.

Yoseline Perez (Houston, Texas) has been incredible for Team USA through three competitions in 2025 and will enter the championship with an 8-2 international record on the year. Her dominant 2025 campaign has earned her a gold medal and two silver medals, and she has won 62.5 percent of her victories with unanimous decisions.

On the men's side, Kelvin Watts (Chesapeake, Va.) has earned a silver and a bronze medal in both competitions he competed in for Team USA in 2025. The 90+ kg contender will look to medal in his third international event of his career and enter 2026 on a high note.
