With fewer days left until fight time, training sessions for the #1 ranked UCA Title challenger, Manuel Galvan, CDCR – Sierra Conservation Center, are ramping up. Galvan is preparing to take on the undefeated #1 ranked Sean Baker, Los Angeles Fire Dept for the UCA Super Cruiserweight Championship title.

Galvan set up his championship training camp at Got Your 6 Boxing Gym in Copperopolis under the guidance of Coach Paul Richards. The gym is 2 hours south of Sacramento, located in Calaveras County. “I love it here,” Manuel said. “It’s peaceful, I have a key to the gym, and I can work out anytime I want. I can go for a run in the mountains, lift weights, and do my boxing workout.” Team Galvan is taking a different approach to this training camp. The team is focusing on sharpening technical skills and applying strategic sparring scenarios to simulate fight conditions. They are using bands for resistance in the ring, working on defense, counterpunching and angles. The gym provides good sparring with highly skilled lightweight boxers and heavy-handed heavyweights. Team Galvan will also travel to Bad2theBonz Boxing Gym in Modesto and Oakdale MMA to get a different look.

Fight fans, this is bout #4 on the fight card. Be sure to be in your seats and brace yourself for a banger when the bell rings.

Tickets are still available for the UCA Central California Battle of the Badges Saturday April 27, 2024 at the Visalia Convention Center. Doors open at 4pm first bell rings at 6pm.  Purchase tickets online ucaboxing.com or at the door.
