David Benavidez to Fight for Interim WBC Super Middleweight Championship Next

With current Undisputed Super Middleweight Champion Canelo Alvarez now confirmed to be facing WBC Cruiserweight Champion Ilunga Makabu in his next bout, Sampson Lewkowicz, promoter of undefeated two-time super middleweight world champion David “El Bandera Roja” Benavidez, has received permission from the WBC Board for Benavidez to fight for their Interim Championship in his next bout.


Today at their 59th annual world convention in Mexico City, Alvarez’s trainer Eddy Reynoso petitioned the WBC to allow the future hall-of-famer to challenge Makabu for a chance at another world title in an amazing fifth weight division. Reynoso’s request was granted unanimously.


V odozve, Lewkowicz immediately requested that Benavidez (25-0, 22 KO), whom many considered at the top of the list of potential next Canelo opponents, be given a chance to hold their world championship for the third time in his undefeated career. The request was also granted.


An opponent for Benavidez’s attempt at a third WBC belt will be announced shortly.

NORTH HOLLYWOOD, KALIFORNIA. (Október 26, 2021) – Unbeaten two-time world champion David “El Bandera Roja” Benavídez and his older brother, longtime contender José Benavídez, previewed their respective showdowns before they enter in the ring in their hometown of Phoenix, Ariz. v sobotu, November 13 live on SHOWTIME in a Premier Boxing Champions event from Footprint Center.

David will battle former champion José Uzcátegui in a super middleweight title eliminator bout that headlines the event, while José faces Argentina’s Francisco Emanuel Torres in the 10-round co-main event. The Benavídez brothers have their sights set on impressing their hometown fans in long-awaited homecoming bouts November 13, which will mark their first time entering the ring in Phoenix since 2015.

Vstupenky na koncerte, which is promoted by Sampson Boxing and TGB Promotions, are on sale now and are available for purchase through Ticketmaster.com.

Here is what the Benavídez brothers, plus their father and trainer Jose Benavídez Sr., had to say from training camp in North Hollywood, Kalifornia:

DAVID BENAVÍDEZ

“Everything has been amazing in camp. We’re sparring 12-13 rounds and running six or seven miles a day. I’ve worked very hard and I can’t wait to put on a show November 13.

“Uzcátegui is a tough competitor and he was a former world champion, so I have to give him that respect. There are big fights on the horizon for me, so I have to prepare accordingly for Uzcátegui.

“I feel like I’m the better fighter. I have the better skills, more power, more speed and I’m hungrier too. It’s going to be a great night for my team. I feel like I’m going to go in there and get the knockout victory.

“A lot of people in Phoenix are excited for this one. I’m excited to go back. The timing is perfect. Pre mňa, this is the biggest fight of my career. I’m ready for anything that comes my way November 13.

“We’re just focused on Uzcátegui, but of course there are bigger fights for me in the future. If I win this fight, I’m in the number one spot for whoever wins between Canelo Alvarez and Caleb Plant.

“Facing Canelo would be a huge fight in the super middleweight division, but I have to go out there on November 13 and get this victory first.

“Right now, with the level I’m at, the fighters that I’m seeking to fight are champions and former champions. Whether it’s Canelo, Plant or Jermall Charlo, I feel like we’re all going to end up facing each other at some point.

“Canelo vs. Plant is a great fight for the division. It’s a fight where both guys have a lot to prove. Those kinds of fights tend to bring the best out of everybody. There’s a lot of pressure and a lot of glory on the line, so I feel like they’re going to be the best they’ve ever been. I’m going to be ready for the winner next.

“I’ve been a pro for eight years already. I just want the biggest fights out there. This is the level I’ve been working to get to for a long time, and we’re finally here at this moment. I want to fight the best of the best and prove myself. I want to show that I’m the best super middleweight in the world.

“Uzcátegui is strong and he has a will to win, but I just believe that I have the better skill set. These are the types of fighters that I need to test myself against. It’s definitely going to be a war, but I’m going to come out on top.”

JOSÉ BENAVÍDEZ

“It feels great to be on this card with my brother, and to be making my comeback in my hometown. There’s going to be a lot of support for me. It’s a great feeling and I’m looking forward to giving my fans a great outcome.

“I had to take a break, but now I have a different kind of mindset. I just want to keep fighting, training and staying ready. I want to get to the top of the super welterweight division.

“The delay has just given me more time to train, more time to get stronger and more time to get ready. I’ve just been making the most of it.

“I’m going to be an animal on fight night. I’m coming for everything. Som hladný. I’ve been out of the ring for years, so I need to make a statement. That’s what I’m looking to do November 13.

“We have a great team here. We all came from nothing and we all started this journey at the same time. We learned day by day and that’s what makes our bond strong. Without my team, I wouldn’t be boxing.

“I have a lot of friends, family and fans who are coming out for my return. That’s really what’s motivating me. I’m happy that people still want to see me in the ring.

“I don’t know too much about my opponent, and I honestly don’t care, because I’m taking him down. No matter who they put in front of me, good luck to them.

“After my fight, which I’m going to end early, I’m going to be ready to walk out with my brother and support him for his fight.

“I’ve been spending a lot of time with my wife and my two daughters during this time off because there were so many things I wasn’t able to be around for earlier in my career. It’s been amazing but I’m excited to be back. I still have a lot to prove.”

JOSÉ BENAVÍDEZ SR., David and José’s Father and Trainer

“David is looking very strong right now. With every fight he gets stronger and stronger and matures more and more. He’s just getting his man strength, so I think everyone is going to see something spectacular November 13.

“Words can’t even describe how it feels to be coming back to Phoenix training my two sons for this big show. It’s something I’ve only dreamed of. Now it’s happening, and we’re super excited.

“I always have to continue adjusting and growing as a trainer. I have to understand that these are grown men now. I had to stop thinking of them as my little kids. I’m always trying to learn more so that I can support their careers as best I can.

“I’m super proud of Jose for getting to this point after his injury. Everything he does now is just extra, it’s up to him to stay focused and work hard. He’s very strong both physically and mentally and that’s why I never gave up on him.

“We’ve been dedicating ourselves and sacrificing every day so that we can give our people in Phoenix a really good show. They’re going to get an exciting night and I can’t wait.”

“I am happy to be bringing David ‘El Bandera Roja’ Benavidez back to his hometown to fight after so many years away,”Uviedol Sampson Lewkowicz zo spoločnosti Sampson Boxing. “It is going to be a sensational welcome party for him and all the fans.”

Still just 24-years-old, Benavídez (24-0, 21 KO) enters this fight having knocked out his last four opponents, including a September 2019 knockout of two-time super middleweight champion Anthony Dirrell. V poslednej dobe, he earned stoppage victories over Roamer Alexis Angulo in August 2020 and Ronald Ellis in March of this year. Benavídez is trained by his father José Sr., po boku svojho brata a bývalého vyzývateľa na titul, Jose ml. V 2017, sa stal najmladším šampiónom super strednej váhy v histórii boxu porazením Ronalda Gavrila v čase SHOWTIME 20 rokov. Predstavuje svoj rodný Phoenix, Ariz., Benavídez odišiel z 15-ročného zázračného zápasu s Gennadijom Golovkinom a Petrom Quillinom, uchádzačom o svetový titul s vyraďovacou šnúrou z 10 bojov od 2015 cez 2017, including a highlight-reel knockout of Rogelio Medina with a seven-punch combination that earned him his first title opportunity.

“I’m super excited to fight in front of my hometown fans,”Povedal Benavídez. “It’s a dream come true for me to come back home as a two-time world champion. I’m training for Uzcategui like he’s a world champ because he has a lot of experience and he’s a hungry fighter. I know that he needs this win, but I won’t let that happen. I’m staying dedicated and motivated to win on August 28 on SHOWTIME and I want to look impressive doing it in order to get even bigger and better fights in the future.”

Born in Venezuela and fighting out of Tijuana, Mexiko, Uzcategui (31-4, 26 KO) captured a 168-pound world title in March of 2018 by stopping veteran contender Andre Dirrell after eight rounds. The 30-year-old put himself in position to fight for a title with four-straight stoppage victories from 2015 cez 2016, including a win over then-unbeaten Julius Jackson. Since losing the title to unbeaten champion Caleb Plant in January 2019, Uzcategui has rebounded to win three of his last four fights, including knockout wins in 2021 over Jaime Hernandez Lopez and Josue Obando.

“I’m excited to be back on the big stage for this fight,” said Uzcategui. “I know what I’m up against with Benavídez. Je to veľký bojovník, and that’s my biggest motivation. This is going to be a war and I can’t wait to give the people a great fight. Both of us come to brawl, so this is going to be a classic on August 28.”

The 28-year-old Benavídez (27-1, 18 KO) is the older brother of main event headliner David and returns to fight in his hometown of Phoenix for the first time in six years. A long-established contender, Benavídez will return to action for the first time since dropping a 147-pound title showdown to Terence Crawford in October 2018. Benavídez had previously earned wins over contenders such as Mauricio Herrera, Francisco Santana and Frank Rojas on his way to that world title opportunity.

“I’m really excited to be back in the ring after being out for a while,” said Benavidez. “I feel more mature, motivated and stronger than ever. Fighting alongside my brother and in my hometown is really a dream come true. I’m really looking forward to making a tremendous comeback. It doesn’t matter who they put in front of me, I guarantee that I’m going to take them out. No one is going to want to miss this night, because me and my brother are bringing the fireworks.”

A native of boxing-rich Buenos Aires, Argentína, Torres (17-3, 5 KO) enters this fight the winner of his last nine contests dating back to 2018. The 31-year-old will fight in the U.S. for the third time on August 28, having scored stateside victories over Cleotis Pendarvis in August 2020 and Louis Hernandez in February of this year. Torres most recently won a unanimous decision over Alexi Rivera in June as he prepares for his toughest fight to date against Benavídez.

“I’m very pumped up for this fight,” said Torres. “I want to thank my whole team for this opportunity to participate in such an important fight. This is a great chance for me to go to the next level against a great fighter who’s had an exceptional career. I will work very hard to get the victory on August 14 and raise high the flag of Argentina.”

Castro (26-0, 11 KO) has climbed the rankings since turning pro in 2012 as he seeks a shot at a super bantamweight championship. The Phoenix-native added two victories in 2020, defeating Jesus Ruiz in February before stopping longtime contender Cesar Juarez in four rounds in July. Castro was coming off a 2019 campaign that saw him score three victories, including 10-round unanimous decision triumphs over former title challenger Genesis Servania and veteran contender Mario Diaz.

“I’m very grateful for this opportunity to fight an excellent opponent in Oscar Escandon,” said Castro. “I’m very motivated to put on a great performance in front of my hometown fans. Augusta 28, I’m going to be ready to showcase all of my skills and hard work in the ring so I leave with my hand raised.”

A native of Ibague, Kolumbia, Escandon (26-5, 18 KO) has faced a slew of top contenders and champions including featherweight champion Gary Russell Jr. and super bantamweight champion Brandon Figueroa, plus hard-hitting contender Tugstsogt Nyambayar. Escandon captured an interim title in 2016 when he knocked out Robinson Castellanos to earn his world title shot against Russell. V poslednej dobe, Escandon scored a first-round knockout over previously unbeaten contender Jhack Tepora in December of 2019.

I’m very focused on training for this fight because I know a win can lead me back to another world title opportunity,” said Escandon. “Castro is a good young fighter who has a solid jab and can move. But I think he’s the perfect opponent for me. There are a lot of things we can do to win this fight and I can’t wait to go in there on August 28 and show it.

Uncasville, Conn. – March 13, 2021 - Former two-time world champion David Benavidez kept his perfect ring record intact with an 11th-round technical knockout victory against veteran Ronald Ellis in their WBC Super Middleweight Title Eliminator main event on Saturday night’s SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING telecast, live on SHOWTIME from Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Conn., in a Premier Boxing Champions event.

Phoenix’s Benavidez (24-0, 21 KO) flashed brilliant hand speed, accuracy and power as he dominated Ellis (18-2-2, 12 KO) Lynn, Mass., cez 11 rounds before referee Johnny Callas finally waved off the fight at 2:03 of the penultimate round. The 24-year-old star held a significant lead on all three scorecards (99-91, 98-92 x2) v čase zastavenia.

“I rate my performance pretty good but I know I could have done better,” said Benavidez, who extended his perfect record to 24-0. “Ronald Ellis is a tough competitor. I just hope the fans like what they saw. I threw a lot of combinations, punches in bunches. There were a lot of times I thought Ellis was going to quit but he didn’t. Hats off to him, je to tvrdý chlap. It was a little later than I wanted but a stoppage is still a stoppage. I hope the fans got a good show tonight.”

A boxing prodigy turned youngest super middleweight world champion in boxing history, Benavidez turned in a masterful performance as evidenced by his punch stats, pristátie 289 na 532 power punches thrown for an eye-popping connection rate of 54%. Benavidez connected on 50 punches in the 11th round which ultimately led to the stoppage. Both fighters combined to throw 1,403 údery. Following his dominating win on SHOWTIME, Benavidez is one step closer to reclaiming a super middleweight world title.

“I want all the big guys,”Dodal Benavidez. “Speaking for the fans too, they would love to see me against all the big guys because as you can see, I love throwing punches. I love stopping people so me versus any big name would be an amazing fight. Chcem [Jermall] Charlo, Canela Alvarez, Caleb Plant, all of them.”

Ellis, 31, showed tremendous determination and a very sturdy chin as he absorbed the constant onslaught from the former two-time world champion. Often working off the ropes as Benavidez pressed the action, Ellis landed 89 z jeho 334 Jabs.

“I could have popped the jab and controlled things a little bit more and not let him smother me,” said Ellis. “Hell yeah I wanted to finish. I didn’t want to give him that satisfaction. I could have moved a little bit more and not taken so many shots to the head. Hats off to him. He did what he had to do. On mi nikdy neublížil, that’s the funny thing. I took a lot of shots but he didn’t damage me or have me super hurt. I never thought about quitting.”

The sports world lost an icon today as the death of Marvelous Marvin Hagler was reported hours before the live telecast began. A member of the International Boxing Hall of Fame, Hagler, ktorý bol 66 rokov, fought in the first main event ever on SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING on March 10, 1986. Hagler was honored with a ceremonial 10-count prior to tonight’s main event. Click Here to Watch SHOWTIME’s Tribute to Marvin Hagler

Benavidez reflected on Hagler’s passing after the fight: “I had met Marvin once before and he was a great champion. Someone told me he fought the first fight on SHOWTIME. Someone on my team let me know a few hours before the fight that he had passed. It’s sad and he will be missed. He was a true legend.”

V čo-hlavné udalosti, Isaac Cruz (21-1-1, 15 KO) of Mexico City earned a unanimous decision victory over Argentina’s Matias Romero (24-1, 8 KO) in a 12-round WBA Lightweight Title Eliminator. It marked the first time that the 22-year-old Cruz went 12 rounds in his professional career. The judges’ scorecards read 114-113, 115-112 a 118-109. SHOWTIME’s unofficial scorer Steve Farhood scored the fight 115-112, giving rounds 10 cez 12 to the rising star.

“I’m not happy about the style of the fight but I am satisfied I took the victory home and we’ve come to the No. 1 spot in the WBA,"Povedal Cruz. “I didn’t know what was going to happen [as far as the judges]. We forced the fight at all times and it would have been very impossible for the judges to do something to me when I was the one pushing the fight.”

Throughout the 36-minute affair, Cruz constantly applied pressure against his opponent which led to Romero, the more seasoned professional, to hold excessively in an attempt to stall the pressure. Despite being warned frequently by referee Harvey Dock, the 24-year-old Romero was never penalized. During the rough-and-tumble contest, však, Cruz was docked a point in the sixth round for a low blow.

“He was a fighter who didn’t want to exchange punches,” Cruz added, in reference to the persistent clinching. “I was very fed up with the clinches—there was never a warning toward him. I did my best out there. Not the best way I wanted to do it but thank God we won the fight and we’re taking the victory home.”

Romero presented an effective jab throughout the fight, pristátie 89 na 282, but it was Cruz’s power punching that ultimately earned him the victory. Cross, who is now the No. 1 contender for a world title shot at 135 libier, pristálo 145 na 459 power údery, počítajúc v to 91 zábery tela.

“Obviously I’m not happy with the decision,” stated Romero following his first professional loss. “I thought maybe it was a draw. Overall I’m happy with my performance. He’s supposed to the be the ‘Pit Bull’ and I went the distance. You have to take the opportunities when they are presented and I wish I would have had more time to get ready for this fight.”

In the evening’s opening bout, Cleveland’s Terrell Gausha (22-2-1, 11 KO) scored an impressive second-round technical knockout over fellow Ohioan Jamontay Clark (15-2-1, 7 KO) Cincinnati. Gausha, 33, did not land a single power punch in the opening round but worked well behind the jab, winning the round on two of the judges’ scorecards. As the second round neared completion, Gausha beautifully countered a lunging left hand from the southpaw Clark which sent the 26-year-old to the canvas for the first time in his professional career. Clark beat the count but moments later was met by a barrage of unanswered punches in the neutral corner. Referee Arthur Mercante jumped in and called a halt to the bout at 2:44 druhého kola.

“I knew Jamontay was a tough kid, I’ve been watching him since Cleveland so I knew about him already,” said Gausha. “I felt like I had a chance to knock him out but I didn’t know how the fight would play out. But I feel I did good, executed the game plan. My coaches had been studying film and we executed.

“I just took my time,” added Gausha. “I was setting traps. I knew he would be open eventually, but I had to be cautious too because he’s a rangy guy, has a good left hand. But I knew there were holes in his game and we executed and when the opportunity presented itself, we landed that big right hand.”

With his emphatic stoppage win, the 2012 Olympian emerges as a contender for a title shot in the super welterweight division. In his first and only world title shot in 2017, Gausha dropped a unanimous decision to current super welterweight world champion Erislandy Lara.

“I know I made a statement tonight,” added Gausha. “I put the division on notice. I’m locked and loaded and I’m ready. I want to be a world champion so I’m looking to fight whoever I need to fight to get to the belts.”

V Showtime CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING® karta tripleheader, 23-ročný Benavídez (23-0, 20 KO) - ktorý v piatok stratil opasok svetového titulu WBC na stupnici - dosiahol medzičasové víťazstvo proti bývalému vyzývateľovi na titul Angulo Angulo (26-2, 22 KO), ktorého roh hodil uterák po 10th kolo.

"Hodnotím sa ako solídnych osem.",”Povedal Benavidez. "Niektoré veci som mohol urobiť lepšie.", ale celkovo to bol skvelý výkon. Nechcel som ísť príliš rýchlo a nechať sa odhalené pre nejaké veľké zábery. Je to ťažký úderník. Ale ako som povedal,, Rád robím veci, ktoré nikdy nikto neurobil. Nikto ho nikdy nezastavil a som si istý, že už ho nikto nikdy nenechá vyzerať tak. Zbúral som ho z prvého na 10. kolo. “

Sedemročný profesionál vo veku 23, Benavidez pristál 56 percent jeho úderov mocou v boji a priemer 29 na 70 údery hodené za kolo. Benavidez ukončil šou dosiahnutím kariérneho maxima 54 údery do guľatiny 10.

Kolumbijské Angulo, teraz bojuje z Miami, Fla., vstúpil do svojej druhej príležitosti titulu majstra sveta v sérii víťazných troch bojov, ale nedokázal čeliť ničomu, čo naňho Benavidez hodil.

Benavidez uviedol, že bol sklamaný a trápny z toho, že v piatok neurobil váhovú hranicu 168 libier. "Všetko, čo o mne všetci hovorili, je pravda.",”Povedal Benavidez. "Mal by som byť profesionál a prísť na váhu.", ale tentoraz som to nedokázal. Je to prvýkrát, čo som nepripravil váhu za osem rokov profesionality. “

"Naozaj musím hovoriť so svojím promotérom, aby som zistil, čo bude ďalej.",”Dodal Benavidez. "Budem bojovať s kýmkoľvek, aby som sa vrátil na miesto, kde som bol.". Na tomto predstavení ste dnes večer mohli vidieť, Mohol by som podať skvelý výkon proti komukoľvek a ľudia za to zaplatia. Pravdepodobne sa vrátim späť do tréningového tábora, aby mi nechýbala váha. “

V čo-hlavné udalosti, stúpajúci ľahký Rolando “Rolly” Romero (12-0, 10 KO) dosiahol kontroverzné jednomyseľné rozhodnutie nad dovtedajším neporazeným Jacksonom Maríñezom (19-1, 7 KO) na zachytenie dočasného titulu WBA Lightweight. Skóre sa 115-113, 116-112 a 118-110, všetko v prospech Romera.

Príbehom zápasu boli Maríñezove spoľahlivé pokusy, keď dominikánsky bojovník vyhral bitku v tomto oddelení (14 percent v porovnaní s Romero 10 percento). Bol to Romero, však, ktorý mal výhodu v pripájaní napájacích razníkov 24 percento (31 na 228) v porovnaní s 18 percent pre Maríñeza (72 na 401).

"Nemyslím si, že som mal zlý výkon.",”Povedal Romero, ktorý sebavedome predpovedal brutálny knokaut, ukončí zápas vo svojich komentároch pred bojom. "Myslel som si, že som boj vyhral.". Bez ohľadu na všetko, Teraz som svetový šampión. Som šťastný. "

Romero utrpel v deviatom kole na zadku hlavy mierny rez nad ľavým okom, ale nezdalo sa, že by to malo vplyv na jeho výkon v majstrovských kolách. "Vyšiel o niečo tvrdší a úhľadnejší ako som si myslel.",”Povedal Romero. "Ale jediné, čo urobil, bol pohyb po celom boji.". Ani sa neskúšal zapojiť. Je ťažké vyradiť niekoho, kto sa nesnaží zaujať. Viackrát som mu ublížil strelami do tela a niekoľkými hákmi. V jednej chvíli som mu ublížil pravou rukou a on mi stiahol hlavu. Bolo ťažké ho dokončiť.

"Jo, [Dal by som mu odvetu]. Nerobil nič zvláštne. “

29-ročný Maríñez, ktorý je držiteľom titulu WBA č. 6 poradie, trénuje Robert Garcia, ktorý nebol prítomný v Maríñezovom rohu a rozhodol sa necestovať krížom-krážom zo svojho domova v južnej Kalifornii.

"To bola čistá lúpež.",”Povedal Maríñez. "Boj som vyhral.". Vybuchol som, vyboxoval ho. Dalo by sa povedať, že si nemyslel, že boj vyhral hneď potom. Je to lúpež. “

V úvodnom zápase na televízne vysielanie, uchádzač v ťažkej váhe Otto Wallin zaznamenal TKO pri 2:32 piateho kola proti Travisovi Kauffmanovi, ktorý si na začiatku piateho kola pretrhol ľavé labrum a nedokázal zdvihnúť ruku. Rozhodca Michael Ortega naznačil koniec zápasu a potom Kauffman oznámil, že odchádza z boxu, len niekoľko dní pred jeho 35th narodeniny.

29-ročný Wallin (21-1, 14 KO) ktorý mal pred Kauffmanom výškovú výhodu o štyri palce, uviedol, že sa cítil k zranenému Kauffmanovi, ale dominoval v boji. "Rozbíjal som ho.". Zostalo mi veľa,“Povedal Wallin. "Škoda, že si nakoniec poranil rameno.", ale zlomil som ho a zasiahol ho dobrými čistými strelami. “

Wallin vyzeral pri návrate do ringu ostro po prvýkrát, pretože v septembri takmer porazil Tysona Furyho 2019. Pristál 12 vpichy za kolo a 54 percent jeho streleckých zásahov počas celého zápasu. V súčasnosti žije v New Yorku a pôvodne zastupoval svoj rodný Sundsvall, Švédsko, Wallin mal vo svojom rohu pre zápas bývalého šampióna Joeyho Gamache.

Obaja bojovníci sa v nedávnej minulosti zotavili zo zranenia, rovnako ako vírus COVID-19. "Necítil som nič z COVIDU.",“Povedal Wallin. "Mal som skvelý tréning.". V marci mi bolo zle, ale COVID ma veľmi nezasiahol. bol som šťastný. Je mi ľúto všetkých, ktorí prišli o život kvôli COVIDU.

"Chcem sa vrátiť späť do New Yorku a trochu si oddýchnuť.". Teraz už trénujem dlho, takmer rok. Takže si chcem trochu oddýchnuť a dúfam, že do konca roka budem môcť opäť bojovať. “

Tridsaťštyriročný Kauffman (32-4, 23 KO) z Readingu, Pa., bojoval prvýkrát za päť rokov a sedem bojov bez svojho trénera Naazima Richardsona, ktorý nečakane zomrel minulý mesiac. Po boji, Kauffman uviedol, že odchádza z boxu.

"Roztrhol som si ľavé labrum a chystal sa na." [Luis] Ortiz boj,”Povedal Kauffman. "Ako atrapa.", Po Ortizovom boji som čakal päť mesiacov na operáciu [Decembra 2018]. Začal som sa cítiť lepšie a v marci som sa chystal naladiť zápas, ale potom sa stalo COVID. Táto príležitosť sa naskytla a ja som ju nechcel premeškať a cítil som sa dobre. V prvom kole som to zranil. cítil som to, ale potom to odišlo a myslel som si, že je to možno len moja myseľ a odišlo to. Potom v piatom kole som to začul a bolo to. Opäť sa to roztrhlo.

"Som hotový. Odchádzam do dôchodku. Mam deti. Robím to už dlho,”Povedal Kauffman.

Benavideza trénuje jeho otec José starší., po boku svojho brata a bývalého vyzývateľa na titul, Jose ml. V 2017, sa stal najmladším šampiónom super strednej váhy v histórii boxu porazením Ronalda Gavrila v čase SHOWTIME 20 rokov. Predstavuje svoj rodný Phoenix, Ariz. Benavídez odišiel z 15-ročného zázračného zápasu s Gennadijom Golovkinom a Petrom Quillinom, uchádzačom o svetový titul s vyraďovacou šnúrou z 10 bojov od 2015 cez 2017, vrátane knokautu Rogelia Medinu so zvýraznením valca so sedembodovou kombináciou, ktorá mu vyniesla prvý majstrovský zápas.

"Je to už takmer rok, čo som naposledy bojoval.", takže sa veľmi túžim vrátiť späť do ringu a dať fanúšikom skvelý boj,”Povedal Benavídez. „Výcvikový tábor bol úžasný. Našťastie, môj otec si tesne pred pandémiou otvoril vlastnú telocvičňu, absolvovali sme súkromné ​​školenie a mohli sme bezpečne priviesť sparingpartnerov, ktorí mi pomôžu pracovať. Čelím veľmi zložitému a drsnému bojovníkovi, takže ho beriem veľmi vážne. Mám pocit, že môžem využiť niektoré otvory v jeho obrane a hľadať vypadnutie ako v každom súboji. “

Narodený v El Bordo, Kolumbia a teraz bojujú z Miami, Fla., Angulo (26-1, 22 KO) vstupuje do svojej druhej príležitosti na získanie titulu majstra sveta v sérii víťazných víťazstiev v troch bojoch, vrátane dvoch triumfov nad predtým neporazenými bojovníkmi. Angulo zastavil Reinalda Gonzaleza 2018 vo svojom prvom súboji od straty rozhodnutia o vtedajšom šampiónovi superhviezdy strednej váhy Gilberto Ramirezovi začiatkom toho roku. Rozhodujúce víťazstvo zaznamenal tento rok v januári nad Anthonym Simsom ml. postaviť sa do pozície, v ktorej môže opäť vyzvať najlepších v tejto divízii.

"Som pripravený na všetko, čo sa 15. augusta stane v ringu," uviedol Angulo. „Pre fanúšikov to bude veľký boj kvôli štýlu, ktorý prinášam do ringu. Benavidez je silný šampión, ale môj štýl bude pre neho príliš veľký a budem mať v noci zdvihnutú ruku. “

Boj z Las Vegas, Nev., Romero(11-0, 10 KO) pridal k svojmu zhode v roku tri víťazstvá knockoutu 2019 pred jeho 2020 debutu ho vo februári zastavil predtým neporazený Arturs Ahmetovs. Rýchlo rastúca vyhliadka v stajni Mayweather Promotions, 24-ročný mladík je zaradený na č. 10 WBA a bude sa snažiť v auguste predĺžiť svoju vyraďovaciu sériu šiestich bojov 15.

“Je to skvelý pocit, vrátiť sa do ringu a bojovať o takúto skvelú príležitosť,”Povedal Romero. "Toto bol najlepší tábor v mojej kariére.", a poviem len toto, ak vás pandémia brzdí v tréningu, potom to nechcete mať dosť zlé. Už teraz verím, že by som tu mal byť s najlepšími ľuďmi, ale svet v skutočnosti uvidí, že som ten, za koho hovorím. Som si istý svojimi bojovnými schopnosťami a mám najlepšie v odbore, Floyd Mayweather, za mnou. Myslím si, že tento boj sa skončí pomerne rýchlo, ale uvidíte vo mne rast ako bojovníka. Toto je ďalší boj, ktorý ďalej preukáže, že tu zostanem. Zaregistrujte sa do KO!”

"Pre Rolanda je to veľký krok vpred.", a čakal na príležitosť predviesť svoj talent,”Povedal Leonard Ellerbe, CEO of Mayweather Promotions. "Má pred sebou veľkú skúšku, aby sa osvedčil.". Toto bude ďalší, ktorý si nenechajte ujsť, takže si v sobotu nalaďte SHOWTIME, 15. augusta. “

29-ročný Maríñez (19-0, 7 KO) je držiteľom titulu WBA č. 6 poradie, which he earned with victories over Rolando Giono and Kenin Betancourt while picking up eight wins between 2018 a 2019. Representing his native Santo Domingo, Dominikánska republika, Maríñez was successful in his U.S. debut in December of last year, stopping Yardley Armenta Cruz in two rounds.

“I’ve had a great training camp for this fight,” said Maríñez. “I’ve been sparring with Vergil Ortiz and Jose Ramirez, plus other fighters in Robert Garcia’s gym, and it’s gotten me ready to step into the ring. I know that Romero is a tough and durable fighter, so it won’t be easy, but I’m going to do anything I can to bring the title back home.”

Wallin (20-1, 13 KO) will return to the ring for the first time since he nearly defeated Tyson Fury in September 2019, keď otvoril príšerný rez cez pravé oko Furyho legálnym úderom, ktorý takmer zastavil boj. Zatiaľ čo 29-ročný muž stratil rozhodnutie, preukázal svoje odhodlanie ako potenciálny budúci šampión v ťažkej váhe. Zastupujúci svoj rodný Sundsvall, Švédsko, Wallin trénuje v New Yorku s bývalým šampiónom Joey Gamache.

"Som veľmi šťastný, že som konečne späť v ringu.",”Povedal Wallin. "Bol to v mnohých ohľadoch dlhý a šialený rok a je to skvelý pocit, keď sa chystám ustúpiť do ringu.". Od boja s Fury som vytrvalo trénoval a mám pocit, že som svoju hru vyvinul mnohými spôsobmi. Kauffman je tvrdý veterán, ktorý môže prísť dopredu alebo boxovať, ak chce. Je bojovníkom priateľským k fanúšikom a ja musím byť neustále pripravený. Máme ako vždy skvelý herný plán a som vo vynikajúcej forme. Viem, že mám všetky nástroje na to, aby som Kauffmana porazil. “

Veterán krajiny ťažkej váhy, Kauffman (32-3, 23 KO) vlastní knihu, ktorá obsahuje výzvy najvyšších váh vrátane Luisa Ortiza, Chris Arreola a Amir Mansour, okrem iného. Čítanie, Rodák z Pensylvánie prehral svoj posledný zápas s Ortizom, nasledujúce a 2018 triumf nad Scottom Alexandrom.

"Toto je moje prvé sústredenie po siedmich rokoch bez brata Naazima Richardsona.", ale viem, že by nechcel, aby som opustil tábor a chcel by som, aby som sa sústredil,”Povedal Kauffman. "Nechať ho zomrieť, keď som bol v tábore, bola jedna z najťažších vecí, s ktorými som sa musel vyrovnať.", ale v každom tábore, ktorý som mal, sú nepriazne. Necítil by som sa dobre, keby nebolo ťažkosti prekonať. Môj otec, Marshall, ustúpil ako hlavný tréner. Vieme, že čelíme mladému človeku, hladný bojovník, ale mám viac skúseností ako on a nemyslím si, že vydrží 10 keď som na, za mnou 100% akoby som bol 15. augusta. “

Medzi ďalšie akcie mimo televízneho vysielania bude patriť super uchazeč strednej váhyAlantez Fox(26-2-1, 12 KO) bojuje s GhanouHabib Ahmed(27-1-1, 18 KO) v osemkolovej atrakcii.
