LAS VEGAS (Agosto 17, 2017) – Estrela em ascensão invicto David Benavidez and powerful contender Ronald Gavril will battle for the vacant WBC Super Middleweight World Championship on Sexta-feira, Sete. 8 live on SHOWTIME in the headlining attraction of a Premier Boxe dos Campeões event from The Joint at Hard Rock Hotel & Cassino, Las Vegas.
A Showtime Boxing: SPECIAL EDITION telecast begins at 10 p.m. E/PT and will feature two additional showdowns in the super middleweight division. Uma vez batido J'Leon Amor (23-1, 13 KOs) will battle Texas-native Abraham Han (26-3, 16 KOs) in a 10-round bout while unbeaten prospect Caleb Planta (15-0, 10 KOs) assume a do México Alan Campa (16-3, 11 KOs) em 10 rounds of action.
Benavidez (18-0, 17 KOs) has a chance to make history – at just 20-years-old he is aiming to become the youngest super middleweight champion in history and the youngest reigning world champion in the sport today. Gavril (18-1, 14 KOs) will seek to keep the WBC 168-pound title in the Mayweather Promotions family after it was vacated by his stablemate, Badou Jack.
“This opportunity means the world to me,” disse Benavidez. “I’ve been working for his since I was a little kid. It’s all come down to this moment when I’m ready to take this belt and take over the 168-pound division. The time is almost here, and I can hardly wait for Setembro 8. Winning the championship would be enough on its own. But the opportunity to be the youngest in the sport is a major accomplishment and the biggest of my life, so far. I have a tough competitor in front of me, and I know he’s treating it as seriously as I am. I’ve been working for two and a half months for this fight and I’m not overlooking him.”
“It’s been a great journey for me getting to this point of fighting for a world title,” said Gavril. “I have a great team behind me who pushes me every single day to perform my best, learn from my mistakes and perfect my technique. Those values have gotten me here and I am thankful for such an amazing opportunity. I will go out there and give it everything I have, I can’t leave the ring without the championship belt.”
Os ingressos para o evento ao vivo, which is promoted by Mayweather Promotions and Sampson Boxing, custam $100, $50 e $25, e estão à venda Terça-feira, Agosto. 22. To purchase tickets visit AXS.com or the Hard Rock Hotel & Cassino, Las Vegas Box Office.
“Em Novembro 2015, I said that I had new blood for our industry David Benavidez, who would be the best and youngest super middleweight champion in the history of our sport,” Sampson disse Lewkowicz, Benavidez’ promotor. “We didn’t cherry pick this opponent. He was the next available contender when Anthony Dirrell pulled out. We expect fireworks. We expect to birth a new superstar. The most important thing is to determine in which round Gavril will be knocked out, because I believe that we’re talking about matching a jet plane against a helicopter. So I expect a spectacular performance from Benavidez, who will begin his run as the new blood in boxing and will keep it going until he retires.”
“To be in a position to announce another great card coming just weeks after the biggest event in sports history shows that Mayweather Promotions shows no signs of slowing down,” disse Leonard Ellerbe, CEO de Promoções Mayweather. “We are thrilled to present this fight card on Setembro 9, filled with tremendous talent featuring top contenders in the Mayweather Promotions stable. Gavril has proven to be a tough competitor, he’s on a long win streak with his last four coming by way of TKO, Love making his return to the stage is sure to excite fans, and the always exciting Caleb Plant will definitely put on show. This is what boxing is about, bringing together some of the most exciting talents on one stage.”

O irmão mais novo do invicto José Benavidez, David picked up four victories via stoppage in 2015 and continued with four more in 2016 including blasting out previously unbeaten Francy Ntetu in June and tough contender Denis Douglin in August. Mais recentemente, Benavidez began his 2017 campaign with a second-round destruction of Sherali Mamajonov in January.
