Highly regarded boxing manager Frank Espinoza is preparing to launch his own promotional boxing company, Espinoza Boxing Promotions in this first quarter of 2009.

“It’s something I’ve thought about for quite a while," said the much acclaimed longtime boxing manager. "The boxing scene in Southern California continues to grow, the fans here are very supportive and I’ve got a growing stable of fighters to keep busy.

“My son Frankie has really been instrumental in this decision. He’s done a great job with the day to day operations of managing my stable and at this point I feel that the next step is for me to start promoting many of my younger fighters.

"I’ve had a few world champions like current WBC junior featherweight champion Israel Vazquez and Martin Castillo and I see similar traits in Luis Ramos, Carlos Molina, Abraham Lopez, Jesus Hernandez, Manny Roman and my new signee Ronny Rios. Nothing is ever guaranteed but they all seem to have that special something that gives them a shot at being a future world champion.

"They all work hard, they’re all highly skilled and they need to stay busy. So now seems the best time for me to start promoting."

Details on the first promotional event will be announced shortly.

The Espinoza Boxing Club was started in 1991 by Los Angeles area businessman Frank Espinoza. Espinoza has earned numerous accolades for his management skills from many boxing newspaper and internet writers.

In 2006, Espinoza was awarded the Manager of the Year award from the World Boxing Hall of Fame and inducted into the California Boxing Hall of Fame.

In the September 2008 issue of Ring Magazine, Espinoza was praised for his outstanding handling of the career of junior featherweight world champion and “Pound for Pound” superstar Israel “El Magnifico” Vazquez.

Vazquez is currently ranked on numerous Pound for Pound lists including # 4 by Yahoo Sports, # 5 by Ring Magazine and # 7 by ESPN.

Espinoza also has managed former world champions Martin “El Gallito” Castillo, Enrique “EL Zurdo de Oro” Sanchez and Isidro Garcia. He currently manages world ranked Alex Valdez and Miguel “El Anestesista” Huerta in addition to undefeated prospects Manuel “Suavecito” Roman, Jesus “Pollo” Hernandez, Luis Ramos, Carlos Molina, Abraham Lopez and Ronny Rios.
