Two boxers from the Vista Boxing Club will compete next week on the national stage. 13-year-old Uleena Torres and 10-year-old Victor “Tony Boy” Villagomez will compete in Lubbock, Texas alongside 2,500 athletes at the 2022 USA Boxing National Championships.
For Torres and Villagomez, this will mark their first trip to nationals. If the two rack up enough points at the nationals, they will be given a national ranking. Those rankings are the first step in qualifying for the Olympics and Junior Olympics.
The USA Boxing National Championships runs from Dec. 3 – 10, 2022.
