Chicago Amateur Boxing (IL) (Images of Sports)

Chicago Amateur Boxing looks at the rich history of the Chicago Golden Gloves and Catholic Youth Organization boxing tournaments that were so popular in the mid-20th century and sent so many local fi ghters up the professional ranks. The Chicago Golden Gloves Tournament of Champions produced future world title holders such as Joe Louis (1937, 175 pounds) and Ernie Terrell (1957, 175 pounds), both of whom went on to win the world heavyweight championship.
