Golden Gloves 2026

Front Range Boxing took home two victories at the Golden Gloves State Championships this year!

Leland Crisler (25) and Josh Rayder (16) earned hard fought wins in their bouts at the Colorado tournament. Leland managed to get a TKO in the second round of his fight while Josh pushed through till the very end of his third round. Both of their opponents fought very well and deserve recognition for stepping into the ring.

Josh used his superior height advantage and long ranged straight punches in furious attacks, leaving no doubt in the judges minds as to who deserved the win!

Leland boxed beautifully and dominated the rounds against his opponent. His accuracy left the other fighter bleeding too much to continue on to round three!

It was absolutely awesome to watch these fighters put their training to the test in their first ever amateur fights and we could not be more proud of them!
