MENIFEE – The 11th annual Southern California State Amateur Boxing Championships were held in Las Vegas last year due to COVID-19. Before that, it was held at the gym in Menifee’s Wheatfield Park. This year, the Southern California State Amateur Boxing Championships took place at Paloma Valley High School. Boxers came from as far as Hawaii, but most teams were from Southern California.
Local teams included Temecula Boxing, P-Town Boxing in Perris, House of Pain Boxing from Old Town Temecula, United Boxing Moreno Valley, and Riverside County Boxing in Canyon Lake. The Event was held over three days with bouts going on simultaneously in three rings where boys and girls as young as 8 years old participated.
