Braulio Ceja-Navarro is making strides faster than some signed fighters—despite funding his career entirely on his own.
On March 8, he returns to the ring in Mexico for what will be his fourth professional bout in just seven months.
The Concord, California native turned pro on August 31 in Oakland and has since fought twice more in Mexico.
“My career is moving fast, and I’m doing it without a promoter,” Ceja-Navarro said. “In just 78 days, I won my first three fights. Next year, we’re aiming for five more.”
Ceja-Navarro splits his training between Pittsburg, California, at Lion’s Den Boxing Gym—where he works with former titleholder James Page—and El Centro, California, near San Diego, where he trains under co-trainer Joseph Peres. He turns 20 on January 8 and will head to El Centro the following day to begin a six-to-eight-week training camp for his next fight.
“There’s nothing to do down there except train,” Ceja-Navarro said. “Even if I wanted to see a movie, there’s nothing around. All you can do is train—but that’s exactly what I need.”
Lion’s Den Boxing Gym is home to rising middleweight prospect Amari Jones, whose family owns the facility. Watching Jones develop into a top-tier fighter has reinforced Ceja-Navarro’s belief that success is within reach. The gym’s coaches have echoed that sentiment, calling him the next big name to emerge from their ranks after Jones.
“Boxing isn’t a traditional career,” said Ceja-Navarro (3-0, 2 KOs). “I’m not in college. I’m doing this full-time, even when I go to camp. I’m not making money—it’s just boxing. Boxing is a poor man’s sport.”
But the sacrifices don’t faze him. With gyms in both Northern and Southern California backing his journey, Ceja-Navarro remains laser-focused on his goals.
“I just want to be successful,” he said.
