Kenny Bristol won the 1976 New York Golden Gloves 160lb Open Championship. Bristol defeated Guy Kennedy of the Madison Square Boys Club in the finals to win the Championship. Bristol trained at the Police Athletic Leagues Wynn Center in Brooklyn, New York where his trainer was former pro boxer Richie Hill.

Bristol was a member of Guyana Olympic Team in Montreal'76 Games in welterweight division, but the country made a last-minute decision to join the boycott of African nations in relation to New Zealand rugby team tour in South Africa. Thus Bristol was forced to forfeit his 1st-round match vs. Canadian home boxer Carmen Rinke by "WO" decision.
