The best boxers in America will be competing this weekend for the chance to represent their country on the biggest stage in international athletics. On the men’s side, 2022 elite national champions Dedrick Crocklem and Jordan Roach, as well as two-time youth national champion Benjamin Johnson, are all expected to step into the ring this weekend.
On the women’s side, defending U.S. Olympic Trials champion and four-time national champion Lupe Gutierrez headlines the field. Additionally, 2022 youth world
champion Yoseline Perez, two-time youth national champion Sa’Rai Brown-El, and 2021 Junior Pan-American Games champion Kayla Gomez are also all expected to compete this weekend.
