The Silver Nugget Fight Club welcomes the 2009 Nevada Golden Gloves State Championship Matches on Saturday January 24 and Sunday, January 25. The Golden Gloves are the premiere amateur boxing events in the USA and will feature a wide variety of weight classes and age groups. More than 60 boxers from this event have gone on to become professional boxing champions.
The competition will take place at the Silver Nugget Casino, located at the North end of the Las Vegas Strip in the boxing capital of the USA. This will be the second in a series of major amateur events at the Silver Nugget, where pro boxing made its debut in 2008 and will also continue in 2009.
“We are excited to return to the Silver Nugget Casino with this Golden Gloves event,” said tournament organizer Jose Banales. “We were very happy with the sell out crowd in December at the Silver Nugget and we think that this will be even more exciting.” Banales runs the North Las Vegas Center Ring Boxing Club.
Winners of this Golden Gloves tournament move on to regional and hopefully national Golden Gloves events.
The Silver Nugget Fight Club is a 15,000 sq. ft. facility adjacent to the Silver Nugget Casino that was recently renovated for boxing and other events. Both pro and amateur boxing are again regular events at the Silver Nugget, keeping a tradition alive that began back in 1964 when the Silver Nugget Casino first opened.
“There are not many retro casinos left in Las Vegas, but the Silver Nugget is truly a gem,” said Silver Nugget spokesman Joe Cain. “Even though we have done major renovations to the casino, we’ve kept that retro feel that our customers seem to really like.”
The Nevada Golden Gloves Championship bouts at the Silver Nugget Casino will be televised on TVS Boxing.Net and on TV4U.com. TVS Noxing.Net is a 24/7 streaming boxing channel that features 60 years of great TV boxing, from the Dumont Network fights of the late 1940’s through to the Pabst Blue Ribbon Wednesday Night Fights and the Gillette Friday Night Fights in the 1950’s to the TelePrompTer and Video Techniques Theater TV fights of the 60’s and 70’s to the Mizlou TV Network Stroh’s TV fights in the 80’s to today’s bouts from locations such as the Silver Nugget Casino and the San Manuel Bingo and Casino in California.
