Vargas Boxing

🥊 **1st Annual Manny Memorial Show** 🥊

Vargas Boxing is proud to host the **1st Annual Manny Memorial Show** on **Saturday, September 26, 2026**, at the YMCA in downtown Sioux Falls.

Join us for an afternoon of exciting USA Boxing amateur competition as athletes from across the region step into the ring to showcase their hard work, discipline, and heart.

This event is held in loving memory of our son, Manny. Boxing was more than a sport to him—it was a place where he found purpose, friendships, and confidence. We hope this annual event honors his legacy by bringing our boxing community together and inspiring the next generation of athletes.

September is **Su***de Awareness Month**, and while this event is first and foremost a celebration of boxing and Manny's life, we also hope it serves as a reminder to check in on one another. A simple conversation, a kind word, or showing up for someone can make more of a difference than we realize.

📅 **Saturday, September 26, 2026**
🥊 Weigh-Ins: **9:00–11:00 AM**
🚪 Doors Open: **2:00 PM**
🥊 First Bout: **3:00 PM**

📍 **YMCA**
220 S. Minnesota Ave.
Sioux Falls, SD

🎟️ Admission:
Adults: **$15**
Kids (10 & Under): **$10**

Bring your family, cheer on these incredible athletes, and help us make the first Manny Memorial Show a tradition that celebrates courage, community, and the enduring impact one life can have.

**We hope to see you there.** ❤️🥊

Another successful weekend for Vargas Boxing!

Coach Olga and Coach Angie traveled with three Vargas Boxing athletes to Hillsboro, North Dakota, and the team returned home with a 3-0 record. Congratulations to Angel on a successful debut in the ring!

This event was also a special milestone for our club, as Coach Olga and Coach Angie led the corner for the day. Their leadership, dedication, and commitment to our athletes were on full display, and we couldn't be more proud.

A special thank you to our friend Robert Badillo for volunteering his time to help with hand wraps. We love our community.

Thank you to Toro's Boxing for hosting a great show and providing an outstanding opportunity for athletes to showcase their hard work and skills.

We are grateful for the continued growth of our athletes, coaches, and boxing family. Onward and upward!

Tiki, Yabi will be competing with Angel making his debut this Saturday in North Dakota 🥊🥊

Thank you to Bud Kin for bringing the devotion to the club tonight.

Bud is a bible student from Heartland Bible Baptist College in Oklahoma City.

A special thank you to Blessing for sharing today's devotion with our boxing family. Your words of encouragement and wisdom were greatly appreciated, and it was an honor to have you at the club. Thank you for taking the time to invest in our athletes and remind us of the values that extend far beyond the ring. 🥊🙏

Be careful who's in your corner but you can trust God to always be in your corner!

We fight in the ring. We fight for each other outside of it. 🥊💙

Proud of our boxing family for showing up at the 988 Walk today.

HOPE. Always.

See you tomorrow
