The Santa Ana Boxing Club is hosting their 4th Annual “Off the Streets and into the Ring” event on Oct. 2, at 1 pm. This is a FREE boxing show, sponsored by Northgate Gonzalez Markets; Attorney Deborah Vasquez; UFCW 324; and Chicanos Unidos. The boxing show will be at 901 E. 4th St., in Santa Ana.
On the corner of 4th St. and Garfield in Santa Ana stands the Santa Ana Boxing Club, a place rich in history and full of heart. The gym is located between two known gangs, next to a bar and in a poor part of Santa Ana. It is located in the empowerment zone area of the city.
Back in the 70s, John Ramirez Sr. opened the gym. It was considered a safe haven for the young people in this low-income neighborhood. John Ramirez, Sr. had a way with the youth and when they entered the gym it was neutral ground. For years the City of Santa Ana has supported the gym with Community Development Block Grants.
