Los Angeles has always been a boxing city. From the Olympic Auditorium to the Forum to the Inglewood days, the sport runs through LA the same way the freeways do — sprawling, relentless, and deeply embedded in the culture. The city that produced Oscar De La Hoya, Shane Mosley, and Seniesa Estrada has over 45 active boxing and combat sports gyms, from legendary pro facilities to celebrity-frequented studios, community hubs deep in East and South LA, and elite MMA gyms with serious striking programs. This is the complete directory.
