boxnard- Oxnard's Boxing Culture
Rich in the boxing tradition, Oxnard even has an appropriate nickname – “Boxnard.” Oxnard is a national hub for boxing and is home to many amateur and professional boxers, some of whom have been born and raised within the city limits, and others who have moved to Oxnard specifically to train.
While you’re here, pursuing your dreams, take time to delight in our hidden gem of a town, where the U.S. 101 meets Pacific Coast Highway – California cool, panorama-perfect, culturally authentic and vibrant beyond measure. Just sixty miles northwest of LAX and in close proximity to Santa Barbara and other major destinations, Oxnard is one of California’s best kept secrets.
