COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (February 19, 2025) -- Team USA’s 2025 Men’s Elite roster has been announced following the conclusion of the Elite Selection Camp. The camp was hosted at the United States Olympic & Paralympic Training Center in Colorado Springs, Colorado, from January 20 to February 18.

The boxers listed below were selected based on the in-depth set of procedures conducted by the USA Boxing High Performance Department. In total, seven men were chosen for the USA Boxing Men’s Elite High Performance team across as many weight classes.

The seven boxers selected will represent Team USA in World Boxing Cup events throughout the 2025 schedule, beginning in Foz do Iguacu, Brazil, March 31 to April 5. The inaugural 2025 World Boxing Elite World Championships will be hosted in Liverpool, England, September 4-14.
