Robby Gonzales, 27, is one of Team USA top boxers and is hoping to qualify for his first Olympic Games in his third Olympic cycle with USA Boxing. The Las Vegas native, Robby “Rahim” Gonzales, looks to make his Olympic dreams come true by finishing top two in Santiago. After falling short at the 2016 Olympic Trials, Gonzales won the 2020 Olympic Trials and seemed destined to represent Team USA in Tokyo, however, like many, COVID deterred his plans. Gonzales did not have the opportunity to compete in Olympic Qualifiers due to COVID guidelines and ended his Tokyo dreams. Gonzales is hopeful to finally achieve his lifelong dream in 2024 as he is leading Team USA and has dominated since missing out on Tokyo. He won gold at the 2021 Elite World Championships just a few months after the Games concluded, and has been one of Team USA’s top boxers, winning multiple gold medals in international competitions, including the 2022 Continental Championships, along with two gold medals and one bronze in 2023.
