Westside Boxing Club was established in 2007 by the Saucedo Ruiz boxing family. In a short period, Westside has developed a reputation as a true and traditional “fight gym”. ESPN recently recognized the club as one of the nation’s most famous gyms. Under the helm of family matriarch, Jose Manuel Saucedo, brothers Jose and Nacho Saucedo serve as head trainers. With support from Oscar De La Hoya and Golden Boy Promotions, the gym has been a go-to spot for Los Angeles media workouts, as well as a secluded LA training center for world-class fighters including Fernando Guerrero, Saul “Canelo” Alvarez, Victor Ortiz, Sugar Shane Mosely, Marcos Maidana, and many others.
