Elite Boxers and Passports

USA Boxing highly encourages elite boxers boxing in the seven weight classes that will be considered for 2022 High Performance Team opportunities to begin the process to obtaining a passport if they do not have one already. It will be a very quick turnaround from Nationals to training camp and the first international competition, and boxers will need a passport in the first quarter of the year.

2022 High Performance Team

When registering for the event, please remember the recently announced 2022 High Performance Team selection procedures and what weight classes USA Boxing will be focusing on next year. These seven men’s weight classes and six women’s weight classes will be considered for both elite and youth boxers. Full youth selection procedures will be announced in the coming weeks.

All 13 men’s and 12 women’s weight classes will still be contested in Shreveport, however, only the seven and six weights are guaranteed to be considered for high performance opportunities.
