New York Golden Gloves

New York Golden Gloves

The New York Golden Gloves is a boxing tournament considered by many boxing aficionados as one of the three most elite Golden Gloves titles, along with the Chicago Golden Gloves.

The tournament is also known as The New York Daily News Welfare Association's Golden Gloves Tournament of Champions or simply The New York Daily News Golden Gloves.

In the 1920s, Paul Gallico of the New York Daily News conducted a tournament. Captain Joseph M. Patterson suggested naming it the Golden Gloves.

The regional New York and Chicago Golden Gloves Championships were the two crown jewels of the boxing mecca of the United States. Although they had Intercity matches afterwards (which were more politicized), to the individual fighters and the public there was no better achievement. In 1962, with the National Golden Gloves assuming control of the tournament, and with a growing televised economy, the general public’s emphasis progressed more towards a national championship.

The Chicago, New York and Intercity tournaments were fought in eight weight divisions: 112 lb., 118 lb., 125 lb., 135.lb., 147 lb., 160 lb., 175 lb. and heavyweight.
