Escondido – A local gym in Escondido, North County MMA Fight Club, is currently training San Diego’s next boxing star. Fifteen year old, Sammy Leon, will be proudly representing San Diego at the California Silver Gloves State Championships.
Winning the 15 yr old, 154 lb division would allow Leon to compete in the National Silver Gloves Championship, potentially becoming one of the top 10 boxers in the nation, of his age group. Leon is not new to triumph, as he has already claimed victory to the Gene Lewis Novice National Championship 2021. This only further prepares him for his next large-scale competition, coupled with his diligence and commitment. Escondido has produced another first-rate athlete. The California Silver Gloves State Championships will take place on Sat. Dec. 18 to Sun. Dec 19th in Compton, California.
