The success of any fighter is built on more than training and what happens inside the ring. A fighter is also strengthened by the support of leadership who believe in them. Chief Deputy Warden (A) Nuckles of Avenal State Prison has shown unwavering support for Correctional Officers John Olson and Anthony Mata as they prepare to represent Avenal State Prison at the Central California Battle of the Badges: Unfinished Business event on June 27, 2026, at Fresno City College Gymnasium. His encouragement and commitment to supporting staff participation in positive events reflects the pride, teamwork, and professionalism that define Avenal State Prison. When Olson and Mata step through the ropes on fight night, they will proudly carry not only their own ambitions, but also the support of their institution.
