History

Boxing is one of the charter sports of the United States Olympic Education Center, established as a resident program in 1987.  It has produced numerous Olympic, world and national champions, including the USOEC’s first world champion in Vernon Forest who won the 139-pound title in March 1992, the first American to ever win the world title at that weight.  David Reid won the program's first Olympic gold medal in the 1996 Atlanta Games.

Al Mitchell became the first USOEC coach to be selected as a head coach of an Olympic team, chosen to lead the U.S. Boxing team that competed at the 1996 Atlanta Games.
