Galvan vs Strigglers in a Super Cruiserweight Storm

January 20, 2026

The most exciting fighter in public safety boxing today might very well be the UCA Super Cruiserweight Champion Manuel Galvan, CDCR – Sierra Conservation Center. Throughout his career he has gone to battle with a murderer’s row of fighters. Those fights have only sharpened his championship instincts.

Every time galvan steps into the ring, the temperature rises. Just when it seems like he is absorbing a lot of punishment and the fight is slipping away Galvan flips the script, bites down, and storms back. It’s almost like he needs the fire to ignite something inside him.

Now he may be facing his most dangerous test yet.

LASD’s Darnel Strigglers is built for battle and convinced this is his moment. His mission is simple, do whatever it takes to rip the belt from Galvan’s hands and end the reign.

Will Strigglers end the reign and become the new UCA Super Cruiserweight Champion?

Will Galvan provide the fans with another drama filled winning performance?

One thing is certain, this fight will be loaded with adversity, drama, momentum shifts, and pure chaos.

Don’t miss the showdown everyone will be talking about.

A New Light Heavyweight Champion Will be Crowned

January 19, 2026

Two undefeated fighters will put everything on the line for the most prestigious title with the longest championship lineage.

#3 JaVun Willie, proudly representing CDCR – CSP Sacramento, will step into the ring against the #1 ranked Anthony Rodriguez of the Los Angeles Police Department in a matchup that has “instant classic” written all over it.

From the very beginning, the UCA Light Heavyweight division has been the crown jewel. It’s the toughest, deepest, and most competitive division in the sport. Champions like Matt Wurdinger, Santa Clara PD, Travon Taylor, Orange County Sheriff’s Office, Kyle Stewart, USMC and Ryan Ramirez, LAFD built the foundation. Their wars defined what it meant to be a champion. Willie and Rodriguez now stand on that same ground, determined to etch their names alongside those warriors.

The parallels between JaVun and Anthony are striking. Both undefeated at 3-0, both started boxing at the same time, and both have stayed loyal to their original gyms and trainers from day one. Now, they’re deep in camp, pushing their bodies and minds to the limit for the biggest opportunity of their careers.

Fight fans, do not miss this highly anticipated UCA Light Heavyweight Championship title fight.

UCA 30 for 30: The Night the First UCA Title Was Won

January 10, 2026

What if I told you four UCA Championship rounds between James Davis, Folsom State Prison and Juan Bustamante, LAPD set the tone for the entire future of Pubic Safety Boxing?

March 31, 2012. Power Gym USA in Rancho Cordova, California.

James “Doin’ Damage” Davis, Correctional Officer from Folsom State Prison vs Juan “Bad Blood” Bustamante, Officer, LAPD Foothill Division

It was officially the UCA’s First Championship title fight. The moment, the rankings, the belts, and the whole vision of organized, ranked public safety boxing became real.

Two Paths to the Same Door

James Davis, the workhorse from Folsom State Prison.

By the time he walked into the Power Gym, Davis was already a big name. Local boxing writers had followed his earlier wars. Davis was described as, tough, heavy handed, granite chin and relentless pressure. A Joe Frazier type fighter, always coming forward, always working, smothering opponents with pressure.

A blue collar fighter from a blue collar job at one of the most famous prisons in the world.

Juan “Bad Blood” Bustamante from LAPD’s Foothill Division.

His story read like a movie script. He was arrested as a kid, sentenced to community service at Azusa Boxing Gym, and saved by the sport he’d once only watched on TV.

He joined the Navy, deployed to Iraq, then came home to pin on a badge with LAPD. In between shifts, he lived in the boxing gym, building a reputation as a heavy handed, explosive amateur who knocked out the previously undefeated Police Olympic Gold Medalist Brian Petrella from Pasadena Police Dept. That win punched Juan’s ticket to the title fight.

Bustamante entered the Davis fight with a lot of confidence and more experience in big fights. Juan and his coaches openly talked about a move to the pros within a year. This wasn’t just a title shot, it was a launchpad.

The Bet, the Build Up, and the Pressure

Predictions had Bustamante as the quicker, sharper boxer puncher and Davis as the nonstop pressure machine determined to walk Bustamante down.

Then came the side bet that turned a boxing match into a NorCal vs SoCal war.

If Davis won, LAPD Chief Charles Beck would have to hang a San Francisco Giants banner at LAPD headquarters

If Bustamante won, California Department of Corrections Director of Operations Richard Subia would see Dodger blue flying at CDCR Headquarters.

Four Rounds for History

When the main event finally came, the gym was packed shoulder to shoulder. Folsom Prison COs, LAPD officers, friends, family, and public safety fighters from all over California who wanted to see history and not just hear about it Monday morning.

From the opening bell, it was the clash everyone expected.

Davis coming forward behind a tight guard, digging to the body, cutting the ring off, trying to turn the ring into a phone booth. Bustamante using his movement, counters and fast combinations, looking to make Davis pay every time he stepped in.

It was four rounds of will vs will. Every time Bustamante landed clean, Davis answered back. Every time Davis cornered him, “Bad Blood” punched in combination and would spin off the ropes.

When the Smoke Cleared

The belt went home to Folsom State Prison. And the new UCA Light Heavyweight Champion

James Davis with a target on his back and a division full of contenders chasing him.

For Juan Bustamante, the loss didn’t end the story. He went on to box professionally, build a public profile as a fighter and bailiff on the acclaimed tv courtroom show Judge Faith and continue representing the uniform. His journey proved that even in defeat, a public safety fighter can turn a moment on a small amateur stage into something much bigger.

Why That Fight Still Matters

Davis vs Bustamante was more than a title fight.

It validated that public safety boxing could be structured, organized, and meaningful.

It set the precedent for future UCA Championship title bouts. It showed fighters from every department that UCA belts weren’t just props or handed out, they had to be earned the hard way.

Today, when a new champion gets their UCA belt wrapped around their waist, they’re standing on a road that began in a packed gym in Rancho Cordova where a Folsom Prison Correctional Officer and an LAPD Officer stepped through the ropes and proved that public safety fighters had the support, credibility, and validation to deserve their own championship stage.

A Year to Remember

January 1, 2026

Happy New Year. 2026 is going to be a big year, starting with the Central California Battle of the Badges on Saturday, April 25, 2026, at Valley Strong Stadium in Visalia.

UCA events aren’t just about boxing. They’re about community, charity, making a statement, proving something to yourself, and embracing the preparation, struggle, pain, and sacrifice that come with it. This isn’t easy. There are no handouts, no guarantees, and no easy fights. Everything is earned the hard way.

Make the year count.

We’ll see you in April.

BREAKING NEWS: Lucian Ramirez Vacates Title

December 4, 2025

In a major shake up to the most competitive division the undefeated UCA Light Heavyweight Champion Lucian Ramirez representing the Los Angeles Fire Dept has officially vacated his title. Ramirez, one of the most dominant and respected champions, has left the division wide open. Suddenly, the deepest weight class in public safety boxing has no king on the throne. With the division’s sharks already circling the Light Heavyweight title, it has instantly become the most stacked and dangerous divisions.

UCA 30 for 30: Why Scoring Had to Change

December 3, 2025

What if I told you the biggest fight in public safety boxing wasn’t inside the ring, it was on the scorecards?

For years, the 10 point must system was the standard. But as public safety boxing grew, it became clear that the system wasn’t built for 3 round amateur fights. It created mistakes, unfair outcomes, and situations where a fighter could lose the bout before the final bell even rang.

Under the 10 point must system, judges add scores in a hurry, opening the door for math errors and potential draws. With Gold and Silver medals, Gladiator, Golden Fists, and Aztec Warrior awards being presented, and championship belts on the line, a draw simply can’t happen. And if a boxer had one point taken away, the best they could hope for was a draw. If they lost two points, they would need a knockout to win.

When boxers realize they must score a KO to win, fights become reckless, frustrated, and dangerous. That’s not public safety boxing.

The UCA Unified Scoring System removes point deductions entirely. If there’s a knockdown or a foul, the referee signals it, and judges make a mental note. No points are added. No points are subtracted. Judges simply choose RED or BLUE corner winner each round. Three judges, three rounds, no math, no draws, no confusion.

A fighter who gets knocked down twice in a round still only loses that round, not the fight. Every boxer walks back to their corner knowing they still have a chance to win, which keeps bouts competitive, controlled, and exciting. Safety remains the number one priority, so the three knockdown rule in one round will always be in effect, and if a boxer is knocked down four times in a bout, the fight will be stopped. A standing 10 count will also be administered when a boxer receives a hard blow, and a standing 10 count will be considered a knockdown.

At the end of the bout, the referee collects the cards, checks the round winners, and declares a clear, clean decision.

No adding. No deducting. No ties. No controversy.

This is the UCA Unified Scoring System built to protect fighters, eliminate errors, prevent draws, and guarantee that every bout ends with a true winner.

SFPD vs SFFD

November 22, 2025

This is a hot ticket. The event sold out instantly. Not a single seat left. All eyes are on San Francisco tonight. Doors open at 5pm first bell rings at 6pm.

UCA 30 for 30: Serrano vs Benoit

November 10, 2025

What if I told you that sometimes, greatness gets cut short?

The UCA Jr Cruiserweight Champion Gerardo Serrano, representing the Reedley Police Department, was one of the most technically sound fighters to ever step into a UCA ring. He had it all, speed, power, precision, and made it all look effortless. Inside the ropes, Serrano was poetry in motion.

In 2019 at the Central California Battle of the Badges, Serrano challenged the undefeated #1 ranked Aaron Benoit, CDCR – CHCF. It was more than a fight, it was a chess match between two evenly matched warriors with identical skills and wills. Every exchange had the crowd on their feet. This was high level boxing, where inches and instincts made the difference. Benoit would claim the title to become the new UCA Jr Cruiserweight Champion.

Serrano and Benoit were so evenly matched that if they fought ten times, each bout would be razor close and decided by who was a little better on that night. Their 2019 clash could have sparked one of the greatest rivalries in public safety boxing history.

But life had other plans. Family and career obligations pulled Serrano away from the ring, leaving fans to wonder what could have been.

Maybe one day, we’ll see Serrano and Benoit step through the ropes again as Masters fighters bringing the story full circle.

UCA 30 for 30: The Fight to Save Boxing

October 29, 2025

What if I told you, one of the greatest traditions in public safety boxing vanished overnight?

For decades, the U.S. Police & Fire Championships (Police Olympics, Police & Fire Games) weren’t complete without boxing. It was the grand finale of the games.

On Friday night athletes, families, and fans would pack into some of the best venues in the country to celebrate the sport that embodied the courage and brotherhood of public safety. Adrenaline, respect, and pride filled the air as fighters from across the country stepped into the ring to represent their badge, and their department.

Boxing wasn’t just another sport at the Games, it was the heartbeat. It brought cops, firefighters, and first responders together under one roof to compete, to connect, and to celebrate the spirit of service through combat and courage.

But then came the news, boxing was on the chopping block. Rising costs, insurance issues, logistics.

It was easier to cut it than to save it.

We weren’t ready to let go.

We fought in meetings, calls, and proposals. We were determined to preserve the best event of the games.

But the financial challenges proved too great. Despite our best efforts, we couldn’t save it. The decision to eliminate boxing marked the end of an era.

And just like that, a chapter of public safety boxing history came to an end.

The memories will never really die and the pride of stepping into that ring will live forever in the hearts of those who did it.

The legacy of the Police & Fire Games boxing will never be forgotten.

UCA 30 for 30: The Dynasty

October 28, 2025

What if I told you one team changed everything?

From 2013–2016, the Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department built the most dominant team in public safety boxing history. The standard was set. The dynasty was born. They were led by four architects of war, Armando Guzman, Mike Young, Al Fraijo, and Hank Nagamine coaches who were as feared in the ring as they were respected in the corner. Under their watch, a legacy was built. A culture. A standard. A dynasty.

The 2013–2016 roster is still considered the greatest team ever assembled, setting a standard the sport is still chasing. At one point, the LASD Boxing Team held five UCA championship belts at the same time: Brian Stevens, Alan Rojas, Mike Frazier, Matthew Pereida, and Stephanie Sparks.

And it didn’t stop there. The lineup had talent from top to bottom. Joshua Mejia, Jorge Caamal, Remin Pineda, Abran Rodriguez and Brandon Manning all fought in title bouts. The roster was so deep that most teams would have killed just to have their bench.

The Depth of the Dynasty

• Roxanne Chavez

• Isabel Sandoval

• Dianna Fazzini

• Alissa Mills

• Marina Lizarraga

• Kendra Hendricks

• Mark Marroquin

• Chris Barrios

• Brian Hoist

• Jose Corral

• Robert Lim

• Rashaan Harrison

• Lamar Wilson

• Mike Hernandez

• Manny Amaya

• Larry Swanson

• Erik Ramirez

• Angel Vasquez

• Larry Cervantes

• Sergio Trejo

• Che Parker

No team before or since has matched LASD’s combination of talent, depth, dominance, and championship pedigree. Their reign remains the benchmark for greatness and the dynasty that changed the sport forever.
