Robert Garcia has trained world champion boxers, from his brother Mikey Garcia to Jesse “Bam” Rodriguez.

Now, at his new gym in Moreno Valley, the Riverside resident is training everyone from kids around the neighborhood to tomorrow’s potential boxing stars.

The new Robert Garcia Boxing Academy is open for business, training youths, amateur and pro fighters alike.

Tucked into the Moreno Valley Mall near the Harkins Theatres, the retired boxer’s gym had a March 8 grand opening and ribbon cutting.

Garcia was named the 2024 Ring Magazine Trainer of the Year and is a former International Boxing Federation super featherweight champion.

“My goal is to bring world-class coaching to fighters everywhere, helping them build successful careers inside and outside the ring,” Garcia said in a news release.

The academy runs its youth program from 4 to 5 p.m. Mondays through Thursdays, with open sessions Fridays, the release states.
