🥊 WHITTIER LOCALS | ATHLETE SPOTLIGHT 🥊

Meet Sasha Saldaña-Nila — Undefeated Professional Boxer! 🥊🔥

My name is Sasha Saldaña-Nila. I’m 25 years old, Mexican-American, and have called South Whittier home for 24 years!

My martial arts journey began at age 5 with karate, where I earned my black belt. Over the years, I trained in Jiu-Jitsu, Muay Thai, kickboxing, wrestling, and boxing.

I finished my amateur Muay Thai career undefeated at 4-0 before transitioning to boxing. After an 8-4 amateur boxing record, I turned professional in 2025 and currently hold an undefeated 4-0 professional record! 🥊

I train at Dog House Boxing in Azusa while also coaching and helping others reach their fitness goals. My parents have always been my biggest supporters, and I wouldn’t be where I am without them. ❤️

Representing Whittier means everything to me! I love supporting local businesses, exploring Uptown, enjoying our restaurants and coffee shops, and hiking our beautiful trails.

My ultimate dream is to become a WORLD CHAMPION and open my own martial arts gym!

My advice to young athletes: Believe in yourself, train hard, and never stop chasing your dreams. 💪

Family means everything to me, and I’m proud to represent the community I call home!
