86 countries have committed to sending their best 17 and 18-year old pugilists to the tournament in Baku, Azerbaijan. Our DC area will be sending at least two boxers, Alantez Fox 69kg (152lbs.) and D'mitrius Ballard 75kg (165lbs.) to compete. The boxers will go out to the Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs for a week-long training camp and depart directly from there to Baku.

In the 2008 and inaugural AIBA Youth Worlds (formerly known as the World Cadet Championshiop) in Guadalajara, Mexico
Joe Dawejko was the lone gold medallist in the 91kg+ (201lbs. +) division and Adam Lopez brought back a bronze medal in the 51kg (112lbs.) division.
