The Bat Cave Boxing Club in Clovis CA is where undefeated Donavon Lewis, Fresno PD and #1 ranked Victor Ibal, Sanger PD have trained for years. The Bat Cave is one of Public Safety boxing’s most tight-knit and consistently successful gyms. The gym has produced 3 UCA Champions and is known for cranking out top tier talent.  Lewis and Ibal know each other very well and have sparred nearly 100 rounds together. When Lewis and Ibal agreed to fight each other it was an opportunity they couldn’t pass up. When head coach Bryan Williams, Fresno PD was asked how he felt about Lewis and Ibal fighting each other and if it might effect the gym’s atmosphere, Williams said. “Look, fighters have a limited window in which to earn a title before the window closes.  If you are in this sport to be a champion then you have to be willing to fight whoever stands in your way even if it’s your stablemate.” Donavon Lewis, Fresno Police Dept. will duke it out with #1 ranked Victor Ibal, Sanger Police Dept. for the Interim UCA Super Heavyweight title. Find who will win this fight and move on to fight the Undisputed Super Heavyweight Champion Chris Dubiansky, Camp Pendleton FD.
