Making a boxing debut is one of the toughest challenges in combat sports. Months of training prepare a fighter physically, but nothing can fully replicate the pressure of stepping into the ring for the first time in front of family, friends, coworkers, and a live crowd. If a debuting fighter can stay composed, stick to the game plan, and make smart adjustments under pressure, they will give themselves the best opportunity to have their hand raised.
UCA Super Middleweight Patrick Dickinson, Benicia Fire Dept will make his highly anticipated ring debut at the NorCal Battle of the Badges on Saturday, October 24, 2026, at the Rock & Brews Restaurant & Bar Outdoor Venue in Sacramento.
Training out of the renowned Lions Den in Pittsburg, California, Dickinson is surrounded by experienced coaches, including owner, founder, and trainer Cordell Pearson, along with undefeated professional boxer and trainer Johnny Perez (2-0), and a room full of high level fighters who push him every day. With that preparation behind him, expect a determined, well prepared fighter looking to make an immediate statement in the UCA Super Middleweight Division.
