Our History

---

 The Chino Boxing Club was founded in the late 1960s as a community-driven initiative aimed at diverting local youth from gangs and providing them with a positive outlet. The idea for the club came from Louis Moreno, a former Chino Police Sergeant, and Bobby Sedillo, an amateur boxer, both of whom were committed to creating a safe space for young people to thrive. Through the generous contributions of community members like Frank and Reva Salter, Tony Linza, Roy Agee, and John Ingroa, the club blossomed into a cornerstone of youth development.

With key support from Reva Salter and the Chino Soroptimist Club, the Chino Youth Boxing Foundation achieved its nonprofit status and incorporated its mission to serve the youth of Chino. Today, the club operates under the support of the City of Chino Community Services Neighborhood Activity Center, which houses its gym.

Over the years, the Chino Boxing Club has trained thousands of youth—both boys and girls—and has been the foundation for many notable professional boxers. The program’s goals go beyond just boxing; it’s about fostering self-esteem, respect, discipline, character development, and a deep sense of pride in one’s achievements.

As the Chino Boxing Club continues to thrive, it remains a vital part of the community, nurturing a close-knit family of staff, trainers, and athletes. The club is also actively involved in several community events, fundraising efforts, and hosts three USA-sanctioned boxing shows each year.

A heartfelt thank you to everyone who has dedicated their time, energy, and passion to making this remarkable program a lasting success!
