On June 22nd, 2025, the Grand Re-Opening of the “WBC Legends of Boxing Museum” will take place at 5226 Pomona Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90022, from 11:00 AM – 4:00 PM.

This marks its seventeenth anniversary. Rudy is having a plaque made to honor the memory and life work of Don Jose. There will also be a giant cake commemorating this anniversary, which Rudy says will recognize, honor, and laud local boxing talent.
There will be food and several inductions, recognitions, anniversaries, and many special guests, such as: Radio Raheem from Fox Sports; MC with Gene A. Aguilera, Hall of Fame author and famed boxing historian; Champion Greg Puente, number one super bantamweight from the Main St. Gym, who will also be an MC.
Sugar Shane Mosley will attend, and also appearing will be Jimmy Gambina from the movie Rocky, celebrating the 50th Anniversary of the Rocky movie. John "Stitch" (who played a corner man with Sylvester Stallone in the movie *Creed*), the great amateur heavyweight champion of all time John Bray, talented singer Mrs. Tina Marie Puente, and WBC Legends of Boxing Museum Members in attendance: Dr. Rudy Tellez, Denise Ramirez, Salvador Gonzalez, Jaime Ochoa, Panda Martinez, Danielle Martinez, Victor Martinez, Mark Lerma, Gina Lerma, Felicia, Ricardo Castineyra, Patrick Ragan, Greg Puente and Carol, Past and present WBC Hall of Fame Inductees, and of course the WBC Legends of Boxing Museum, in partnership with Panda Martinez of Pamart Boxing Gloves LLC.
