The first three boxers he trained,
Lupe Aquino,
Terry Norris, and
Orlin Norris, all became world champions. He went on to train other world champions during the 1990s, including
Miguel Ángel González,
Paul Vaden,
Frans Botha, and
Nana Konadu. However, the training center remained largely unused while Sanchez recovered from a heart attack in 2001. This changed when
Oscar De La Hoya rented it to prepare for his 2008
bout with
Manny Pacquiao. Shortly afterwards, Sanchez met with
Gennady Golovkin and returned to training after being impressed with Golovkin's talent. Sanchez and Golovkin split after nine years due to a money row following Golovkin's $100m deal with
DAZN. Since then, he's worked with other active boxers like
Sullivan Barrera,
Murat Gassiev,
Denis Shafikov,
Michel Soro,
Alfredo Angulo,
Joe Joyce and
Arsen Goulamirian.
Recognition In 2015, Sanchez won the
Futch-Condon, an award given by the
Boxing Writers Association of America to honor the best trainer of the year. == Other ventures ==
