The best kept secret in public safety boxing right now is Angel Valdivia, representing the Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department.
Fighting between 160 and 168 pounds, Angel is the kind of fighter, hardcore boxing people quietly talk about. He has skills, experience, ring IQ, and the kind of potential to be a big name. Angel has been around the game a long time and has been sharpening his craft and developing from a good fighter into a dangerous one.
Timing and opportunity have not lined up for him yet, but make
no mistake, Angel is staying ready. Training out of the respected Don Ruiz Boxing Academy and Century Station Boxing Gym, he continues to push himself alongside high level talent. He has sparred with some top ranked fighters and definitely showed he belongs.
Angel Valdivia is young, hungry, and disciplined. He is the type of fighter who can go from unknown to a big name in a hurry. His opportunity is coming, and when it does, don’t act surprised when his name starts making serious noise.
