Cradle of Champions

Running time: 100 mins

Looking for a way out and a way up. Poverty is not going to hold back their dreams to be champions and to seize the opportunity to become professional and Olympic athletes. The New York Golden Gloves tournament offers just that chance. Lasting three months, and with 500 fighters, this annual amateur boxing tournament is the oldest, the biggest, and the most prestigious. Bartle Bull’s spectacular Cradle of Champions inspires through the stories of Titus Williams, James Wilkins and Nisa Rodriguez as they hustle through training, tournaments, and tough lives—always driven by a passion to fight for the opportunities that are definitely within reach. – Megan Koehler Presented In Honor Of Jim Boyce
