Golden Gloves (boxing)
The "Golden Gloves" amateur boxing competitions began in New York City in 1927. The competition has been long associated with the Daily News (sponsor) and Madison Square Garden (location).

Chicago Tribune sports editor Arch Ward in 1923 conceived the idea of a city-wide amateur boxing tournament, to be sponsored by the newspaper. Each champion was awarded a miniature golden glove, which gave the tournament its name.
However, boxing became illegal in Illinois in 1924, so the tournament seemed to be a one-time event. In the meantime, the New York Daily News originated a similar championship tournament for amateur boxers on the East Coast in 1927.
The Illinois Legislature made boxing legal once more, primarily so the second Dempsey-Tunney fight could be staged in Chicago in September of 1927. The following year, the Golden Gloves tournament was revived, with the New York and Chicago newspapers holding their own area tournaments. Winners of those tournaments then fought for the national Golden Gloves championship.

A total of thirty-two amateur boxers will compete tonight at the Garden in the final bouts of the Golden Gloves amateur boxing tourney sponsored by The Daily News A. A. and held under the auspices of the Metropolitan A. A. U. The program is scheduled to start promptly at 8 o'clock. There will be two classes of bouts, the open for those who have competed before, the prize for which is the solid gold diamond studded boxing glove, and the sub-novice class for those who have never boxed in public, the prize being a solid gold medal with the Golden Gloves embossed.
