Morehouse College has officially become the first HBCU to compete in the U.S. Intercollegiate Boxing Association National Tournament—and we didn’t just make history, we made champions.

Kaleb Hudson ’26 (140 lb) and Elijah McLean ’27 (168 lb) brought home National Championships, showing the world that Morehouse men don’t just rise to the occasion—we set the standard. With unmatched grit, unwavering discipline, and the guidance of leaders like Morehouse Police Chief Charles Prescott, this is only the beginning.
