The Masters UCA #1 ranked Heavyweight Johnny Ciprian, U.S Penitentiary Atwater CA FBOP  is engaged in the toughest training camp of his career as he prepares for the rematch with the Masters UCA Heavyweight Champion Daniel Dansby, CDCR – CMF. Ciprian paid for his lack of focus in the fight against Dansby and did not fight the most intelligent fight he could have. While still maintaining that he feels he won the fight with Dansby, Ciprian acknowledges that he is going to do things differently in the rematch.

Ciprian knows he cannot afford to lose a 2nd fight to Dansby. For that reason he is taking the April 15th fight very seriously.  Ciprian switched trainers and started his training immediately after the loss. He listens to everything his coach Mauricio Lopez, Rise Above Boxing Gym in Turlock has to say.  Coach Lopez and Ciprian are studying the fight and coming up with a winning strategy.  Coach Lopez is also taking Ciprian to different gyms for sparring and training. “The loss to Dansby made me reflect on what I need to do and what it will take to be a champion” Ciprian said “I know what I must do and what my coach expects from me.  I’m ready for the rematch for the title and excited to open the Central California Battle of the Badges card with a knockout victory.”

10 days until the Central California Battle of the Badges Saturday, April 15, 2023. Doors open at 4pm first punch thrown at 6pm. $50 for General Admission.
