Registration Open for 2026 USA Boxing National Open

USA Boxing is excited to announce that registration is officially open for the 2026 USA Boxing National Open. The event will mark USA Boxing’s fourth national event of 2026 and the third consecutive year the organization has hosted the National Open.

This year, USA Boxing’s National Open will be hosted at the Cleveland Public Auditorium in Cleveland, Ohio, from Sept. 26 to Oct. 3.

Ohio is one of the premier boxing states in the country, with two of the top five winningest clubs from the 2025 USA Boxing national events. Team Cartel Elite Boxing finished No. 5 in the 2025 national club rankings after recording 35 wins across USA Boxing national tournaments, while Real Deal Boxing finished No. 2 for the second consecutive year with 59 wins.

Ohio also has a rich Olympic boxing history, as a boxer from the state has represented Team USA at seven consecutive Olympic Games, beginning with the Sydney 2000 Olympic Games, when Ricardo Williams, Jr. and Dante Craig represented Team USA. A total of 14 Ohio boxers qualified during that seven-Games span, including Cleveland native Morelle McCane, who represented Team USA at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games. McCane became the fifth consecutive Cleveland native to qualify for the Olympic Games and the first female boxer from Cleveland to earn an Olympic berth.

The 2026 USA Boxing National Open will be open to male and female athletes in the PeeWee, Bantam, Intermediate, Junior, Youth and Elite divisions. Online registration for the event is available HERE, and the registration deadline is Tuesday, Sept. 15, at midnight MT.
