South Californian Power! BCS Conquers Historic Third National Place in Boxing at CONADE 2026 Games

Baja California Sur has once again demonstrated why it is one of the powerhouses of amateur boxing in Mexico. This May 2026, the South Californian boxing delegation achieved an unprecedented milestone by securing **third place nationwide** in points at the CONADE National Games, held in Tepic, Nayarit. This result positions the state as an indisputable leader in youth pugilism, surpassing entities with larger budgets and populations.

Under the direction of the South Californian Institute of Sports (INSUDE), led by Noé Fiol Verduzco, the young boxers delivered memorable battles in the ring. Highlights include the participation of figures such as José Gabriel Martínez, who took the silver medal in the U-19 category after an intense final, adding to a successful harvest of medals including several golds and bronzes that were key to climbing to the national team podium.

This victory is a reflection of structured work that begins in local gyms across the five municipalities. Success in Tepic not only brings medals to the state but also boosts the morale of the entire sports community in 2026, a year in which BCS consolidates its position within the "Top 12" of the competition's overall medal table. Boxing remains the flagship discipline of the peninsula, inspiring new generations to put on the gloves with discipline to reach their dreams.
