It’s not very often when an 18-year-old pro boxer gets the opportunity to fight on national television, much less before his hometown fans.
However, for Fairfield native Manuel “Tino” Avila (2-0, 1 KO), such plaudits are to be expected even at this fledgling stage of his career.
“It never feels overwhelming,” said Avila, who takes on Frank Gutierrez (2-8-2, 1 KO) this Friday at the Fairfield Sports Center in the latest installment of Telefutura’s Solo Boxeo Tecate series. “I’ve been training out here in Vacaville for eight or nine years here, and I’ve fought here in the amateurs. It’s just another fight to me.”
