WICHITA, Ks. – Tickets are on sale for the 52nd USA Boxing National Junior Olympics, which will take place June 24-29 at Century II Performing Arts & Convention Center in Wichita, Ks. It will serve as a kickoff to a busy summer for USA Boxing, as the Olympic Games in Paris 2024 will begin in July.
After successfully hosting the 50th anniversary of USA Boxing’s National Junior Olympics in 2022, Visit Wichita is excited to host the event again this summer. The event will feature the nation’s best up-and-coming boxers taking to the ring in one of the oldest and most historic USA Boxing national tournaments, which has seen numerous Olympic medalists, such as Wichita native Nico Hernandez, an IBA Flyweight World Title holder, 2016 Olympic Bronze medalist, and winner of the 2012 and 2013 National Junior Olympics. Others include 2020 Tokyo Olympic medalists Keyshawn Davis (Norfolk, Va.), Oshae Jones (Toledo, Oh.), Duke Ragan (Cincinnati, Oh.), and Richard Torrez Jr. (Tulare, Calif.).
“We’re thrilled to welcome USA Boxing and its athletes and fans to the ‘Heart of the Country’ again this summer. It’s not only a thrilling event for people in the region to have the opportunity to attend, but it also brings positive economic impact to the city and emphasizes that Wichita is a tremendous sports city capable of hosting sporting events of all kinds and magnitudes,” said Josh Howell, vice president of sports development at Visit Wichita.
The competition will begin on June 24 and finish with the finals on June 29. The opening ceremonies will take place on June 23.
Daily tickets, weekly passes, and finals tickets are now on sale through selectaseat.com/usaboxing. Ticket prices for both events are $10 per day; and $50 for a weekly pass.
