After winning the title last weekend at the Midwest Regional Golden Gloves Championships in Omaha, Nebraska, 18 year old Arlen Janis Jr. now sets his sites on a bigger prize. He will now compete in the U.S. National Golden Gloves Championships May 16-21 in Salt Lake City, Utah.

300 of the nation's best boxers will compete hoping to be the one standing in the ring on championship night. The final night will feature 20 boxers battling in each of the 10 weight divisions. Utah hosted this prestigious tournament in 2009 and again in 2013.
