Fat City Boxing Club was founded in 2011 by World Boxing Hall of Fame
inductee Alvaro ”Indian Yaqui” Lopez, a world famous former Light Heavy-Weight
Boxer who has received special recognition by the United States Senate and
Congress for his achievements in the sport of boxing and for his work with at risk
youth.
Yaqui Lopez's Fat City Boxing Club was created to address the growing need to
promote the physical, mental, and spiritual, well-being of at-risk youths in the
community, many of whom face disproportionate risks and challenges. The GOAL of
our program is to encourage positive behavior and teach valuable life lessons about
responsibility, community service, pride, discipline, exercise and nutrition as well as
stress management. We believe that the skills and lessons our participants learn will
help them grow into positive well balanced adults. Ultimately Yaqui Lopez’s Fat City
Boxing Club is trying to save lives.
Fat City Boxing Club is open
Monday thru Friday from 1:00pm - 6:30pm.
Weekends are set aside for boxing events or for private lessons. Fat City Boxing Club
is part of the Central California Association and of USA Boxing. Our amateur boxers
compete at events year round. Most of the events we attend are located in Central or
Northern California, but we do occasionally travel to Southern California and Nevada
as well.
