The 4th Annual Nick Cosmos Boxing Event is an event to honor the former Western
New England Golden Gloves Director, Nick Cosmos, who was responsible to bringing the
Golden Gloves Tournament to Holyoke in 1957 where it spent nearly 50 years until his death in
2003. The boxing event is a precursor to the Golden Gloves and will have challengers compete
against the reigning Golden Gloves Champions. This will be the unofficial start of the Golden
Gloves and will begin the selling of Golden Gloves tickets and merchandise.
