ABOUT Pow

Boxing Is Life

Paolo “Pow” Barredo started boxing at the tender age of five because his father wanted him to stay in shape, away from gangs, and prevent him from being bullied due to his small frame.

YEARS OF EXPERIENCE

Barredo was a celebrated U.S. amateur boxer who won 90 of 106 matches, highlighted by his 2021 Junior Olympics title-winning performance. Waiting four years to turn pro in hopes of making the U.S. Olympic Boxing Team was never a consideration for Barredo, who did think about turning pro two years in Mexico at the age of 16. On September 28, 2024 two days after his 18 year birthday, marked his first Pro fight win. 1-0-0

CHAMPIONSHIP TRAINING

Barredo is trained and managed by the highly respected Henry Ramirez from Riverside's Raincross Boxing Academy.
