USA Boxing sanctioned amateur team. We send fighters to nine to twelve cards a year — local club shows, state-level Golden Gloves, regional championships. Application is open year-round but we hold formal try-outs three times a year. Read the requirements before you apply.
Active USAB pass-book required before your first sanctioned fight. We reimburse the fee on acceptance to the team. Annual physical due before card #1.
Minimum six months training at Ironclad before try-out. We need to see your hands, your gas, and your ear in the corner before we put you on a card with our name on it.
Cleared by Coach Brodie at Tuesday or Thursday open spar. He'll watch you over four to six sessions before he signs the form. He doesn't sign every form.
Open division: 19 to 40 years old. Under-19 and over-40 masters divisions are managed separately — write us. We compete in 105 to 178 lb classes.
Mandatory: Tue + Thu sparring, plus Saturday team class. That is the floor — most fighters add two more privates per week during fight camp.
Sober at the gym. No outside coaches in your corner without Dev's blessing. No fighting outside sanctioned cards. We have removed people for less.
This form takes ten minutes. Be honest about experience — we will check the gym you came from and the cards you say you fought on. Lying gets you cut on day one.
If accepted, the next step is a 90-minute on-floor evaluation: pad work with Dev, three rounds of light sparring with a current team member, then a sit-down with Coach Brodie. Bring your own wraps and a clean t-shirt.
Try-out windows: 25 Jan / 17 May / 13 Sep 2026. Applications submitted between windows are reviewed and held for the next one.
