Women's Olympic Trials Qualifier Stays In Baltimore; Men's Qualifier Moves To Philadelphia Sept. 6-12!

USA Boxing has announced that the second and final Women's Olympic Trials qualifier will remain in Baltimore, MD on September 6-12 at the Baltimore Waterfront Marriott, located at 700 Aliceanna Street. However, the Men's Olympic Trials qualifier has been moved to Philadelphia, PA and will take place during the same week.

The men's qualifier was originally scheduled to be held in Baltimore. However, the Elite Men's boxers competing in the qualifier box without headgear and the state of Maryland does not allow amateur boxers to compete without headgear.  There were hopes that Washington, DC could host the qualifier but DC also has the same rule.
