Ray "Windmill" White (Trainer)
I can remember watching Ray "Windmill" White on Television, Boxing at the Olympic Auditorium in Downtown Los Angeles with my Dad. Ray, who also was a Carpenter by trade, lived in Ventura County and became a popular and entertaining Boxer during this era. Ray also made guest appearances on the Mike Douglas Show, as well as my favorite, The Merv Griffin Show. He is a very special person to several individuals. When you get to know the Windmill, you will find a very honorable, respectful and admirable individual to say the least. His mission in helping others, will by far be the most desireable qualities that VKOB seeks to to have as their representative. In 2011, Ray will be inducted to the Ventura County Sports Hall of Fame as well as the California State Hall of Fame. A well deserved and long overdue awards. Congratulations Ray!!!

Joe Chavez is a master of his trade. A true professional that knows all the proper techniques of hand wrapping. If you talk to him, he will take you back in time and discuss all the professional boxers, promoters and professional trainers he has worked with. His knowledge of the old classic fights is phenomenal. If I was a fighter, I would want Joe Chavez in my corner. We want to take this opportunity to salute Joe for his kindness, thoughtfulness and taking his time to help guide us with his vast knowledge, experience in the sport he loves....boxing.

Dub Huntley (Advisor)
“A remarkable human being” This is how we describe Dub Huntley. He is a kind, considerate and compassionate man. Put him in the ring and you will have a fight on your hands. I remember a professional boxer who is since retired say, “I fought Dub Huntley”. When I mentioned this to Dub, he could not remember the man you claimed to have fought him. Dub responded. “Did he get knocked out?” “If he did not get knocked out then he did not fight me.” Dub continues to train boxers at two gyms in Los Angeles. A former trainer of Laila Ali, credit and release of rights to academy award movie “Million Dollar Baby” was recently featured on the televison series one of the “Contenders”. We are honored to have Dub, Ray and Joe as they are what we refer to as our “Dream Team” !
