About
I have been involved in competitive boxing since 1988. I have many years of experience and have assisted many professional and amateur boxers to improve their boxing skills, careers and lifes. I can work with beginners, intermediate and professional fighters/students. I am also a licensed cornerman/coach with USA Amateur Boxing. I am also a boxing coach at Janjira Gym at Athletic Society West Valley in Canoga Park. You may contact me directly at (818)516-2014 if you'd like additional information.
I enjoy seeing my clients progress their boxing skills and their lifes as that is a direct beneficial effect of learning how to box. My clients and I both are very satisfied to see how boxing improves not only their physical skills but also many other aspects of their daily lifes.

I have many year of professional boxing experience. My professiona record is 54 wins, 4 losses and 42 KO's. I also won multiple boxing titles including the lightweight IBF world title.
