LAPD Boxing

Two fighters from the LAPD Boxing team have big fights this month. March 16^th Ivan Guillermo will be having his pro Debut. On March 31^st Juan Bustamante will be fighting for the UCA Light Heavyweight State Title.

The LAPD Boxing Team is a close knit group. When one of their teammates is fighting the whole team turns their focus on that fighter. One thing about the LAPD Boxing team you have to admire is they are like a family. Not only are their teammates supporting them but the whole dept and in some cases a whole city gets behind them.

Juan Bustamante was raised in the city of Azusa. Once the city heard about Juan fighting for a title in Sacramento the Mayor Joe Rocha organized a press conference to show his support.

This is the kind of support all Public Safety officers should get.  A lot has to be said about these officers who have families, work 40 plus hours a week, put their lives on the line everyday and still want to give back by training and competing to raise money for charity boxing events.

Ivan Guillermo will be fighting on the ALL STAR Promotions Combat United Boxing MMA Card. Ivan is a Los Angeles Police Officer Hollenbeck Division. Ivan Guillermo has accomplished a lot as an amateur boxer. He has competed in the International Police and Fire Games winning a bronze medal. He is a Police Olympic Gold Medalist, Main Event fighter, and no one can forget his three epic battles with Jorge Caamal from LASD. Ivan is going to test the waters at the Professional level March 16^th in Montebello at the Quiet Cannon. He will be facing Victor Valenzuela also in his Pro Debut. The fight will be 4 rounds in the Jr Middleweight division.
