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.

У одговору, Lewkowicz immediately requested that Benavidez (25-0, 22 КОс), 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.

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.

Улазнице за догађају уживо, which is promoted by Sampson Boxing and TGB Promotions, are on sale now and are available for purchase through Тицкетмастер.цом.

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

**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. За мене, 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. Gladan sam. 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,” said Sampson Lewkowicz of 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 КОс) enters this fight having knocked out his last four opponents, including a September 2019 knockout of two-time super middleweight champion Anthony Dirrell. Недавно, 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., alongside his brother and former title challenger, José Jr. У 2017, he became the youngest super middleweight champion in boxing history by defeating Ronald Gavril on SHOWTIME at just 20 година стар. Representing his native Phoenix, Аризона, Benavídez went from a 15-year-old prodigy sparring with Gennady Golovkin and Peter Quillin, to world title contender with a 10-fight knockout streak from 2015 кроз 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,” said 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, Мексико, Узцатегуи (31-4, 26 КОс) 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 кроз 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. Он је велики борац, 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 КОс) 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, Аргентина, Torres (17-3, 5 КОс) 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.”

Кастро (26-0, 11 КОс) 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. Он Аугуст 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, Колумбија, Escandon (26-5, 18 КОс) 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. Недавно, 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.”

I love stopping people so me versus any big name would be an amazing fight. Желим [Јермалл] Цхарло, Цанело Алварез, Калеб биља, all of them.”

Елис, 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 његовог 334 Јабс.

“I could have popped the jab and controlled things a little bit more and not let him smother me,”Рекао је Еллис. “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. Он ме никад не шкоди, 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, Хаглер, ко је био 66 година стар, 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.”

У сарадњи-главни догађај, **Isaac Cruz** (21-1-1, 15 КОс) of Mexico City earned a unanimous decision victory over Argentina’s **Matias Romero** (24-1, 8 КОс) 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 и 118-109. SHOWTIME’s unofficial scorer Steve Farhood scored the fight 115-112, giving rounds 10 кроз 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,", Рекао је Круз. “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, међутим, 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, слетање 89 од 282, but it was Cruz’s power punching that ultimately earned him the victory. Цросс, who is now the No. 1 contender for a world title shot at 135 фунти, слетео 145 од 459 повер ударце, укључујући 91 body shots.

“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 **Террелл Гаусха** (22-2-1, 11 КОс) scored an impressive second-round technical knockout over fellow Ohioan **Јамонтаи Кларк** (15-2-1, 7 КОс) од Цинциннати. Гаусха, 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 другог круга.

“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.”

Роландо Ромеро из Маивеатхер Промотионс-а постигао је једногласну одлуку у односу на претходно непораженог Џексона Марињеза за привремену титулу ВБА у лакој категорији; Отто Валлин ТКОс Травис Кауффман у тешкој категорији

**УНЦАСВИЛЛЕ, Цонн.** - Август 16, 2020 – Давид Бенавидез је после сачувао свој рекорд непоражености 23 бори се са доминирајућим учинком против Алексиса Ангула у главном догађају узбудљиве боксерске вечери уживо на СХОВТИМЕ-у у суботу увече из Мохеган Сун Арене у Ункасвилу, Конектикат, представили Премиер Бокинг Цхампионс.
*(За истакнуте, клик* ***ОВДЕ***)

У СХОВТИМЕ Цхампионсхип Бокинг^® триплехеадер картица, 23-годишњи Бенавидез (23-0, 20 КОс) – који је у петак изгубио појас за титулу светског првака по ВБЦ-у на скали – остварио је прекидну победу против бившег изазивача светске титуле Ангула (26-2, 22 КОс), чији је угао бацио пешкир после 10^тх круг.

„Оцењујем себе солидном осмом,“, рекао је Бенавидез. „Могао сам да урадим неке ствари боље, али свеукупно је то била одлична представа. Нисам желео да идем пребрзо и да будем изложен неким великим ударцима. Он је тежак ударац. Али као што сам рекао, Волим да радим ствари које нико никада није урадио. Нико га никада није зауставио и прилично сам сигуран да га нико више неће натерати да изгледа тако. Демолирао сам га од прве до 10.

Седмогодишњи професионалац у доби од 23, Бенавидез је слетео 56 проценат његове снаге удараца у борби и просечно 29 од 70 ударци бачени по рунди. Бенавидез је затворио шоу успевши у каријери 54 ударци у круг 10.

Колумбијски Ангуло, сада бори од Мајамија, Фла., ушао у своју другу прилику за титулу светског првака у низу од три победе, али није могао да се супротстави било чему што му је Бенавидез бацио.

Бенавидез је рекао да је разочаран и посрамљен што није постигао ограничење тежине од 168 фунти у петак. „Истина је све што су сви рекли о мени,“, рекао је Бенавидез. „Требао бих да будем професионалац и да добијем тежину, али овога пута нисам могао. Ово ми је први пут да се нисам угојио у осам година професионализма.”

„Стварно морам да разговарам са својим промотером да видим шта је следеће,“, додао је Бенавидез. „Борићу се против било кога да се вратим на место где сам био. Видели сте по овој вечерашњој представи, Могао бих да одиграм сјајну представу против било кога и људи ће платити да то виде. Вероватно ћу се одмах вратити у тренинг камп да се уверим да не изгубим тежину.”

У сарадњи-главни догађај, Лагани у успону Роландо "Ролли" Ромеро (12-0, 10 КОс) постигао је контроверзном једногласном одлуком над претходно непораженим Џексоном Марињезом (19-1, 7 КОс) да освоји привремену титулу ВБА у лакој категорији. Резултат су 115-113, 116-112 и 118-110, све у корист Ромера.
*(За истакнуте, клик* ***ОВДЕ***).

Прича о борби била је Марињезов поуздан ударац док је доминикански борац добио битку у том одељењу (14 проценат у поређењу са Ромеровим 10 проценат). Био је то Ромеро, међутим, који је држао предност у вези са снажним ударцима 24 проценат (31 од 228) у поређењу са 18 процената за Марињеза (72 од 401).

„Мислим да нисам имао лош наступ,“, рекао је Ромеро, који је самоуверено предвидео да ће брутални нокаут завршити меч у својим коментарима пре борбе. „Мислио сам да сам победио у борби. Без обзира на све, Сада сам светски шампион. Ја сам срећан. "

Ромеро је задобио благу посекотину изнад левог ока у деветој рунди на кундаку, али изгледа да то није утицало на његов учинак у првенственим рундама. „Изашао је мало чвршћи и мршавији него што сам мислио,“, рекао је Ромеро. „Али све што је урадио је да се кретао око целе борбе. Није чак ни покушао да се ангажује. Тешко је нокаутирати некога ко не покушава да се ангажује. Повредио сам га више пута ударцима у тело и неколико удица. У једном тренутку сам га повредио десном руком и он ми је повукао главу доле. Само га је било тешко докрајчити.

"Да [Дао бих му реванш]. Није урадио ништа посебно.”

29-годишњи Марињез, који држи ВБА-ов број. 6 ранкинг, тренира Роберт Гарциа, који није био присутан у Марињезовом углу и одлучио да не путује преко земље из свог дома у јужној Калифорнији.

„То је била чиста пљачка,“, рекао је Маринез. „Победио сам у борби. Ја сам надмашио, надбоксовао га. Могло би се рећи да није мислио да је победио у борби одмах након тога. То је пљачка.”

У уводном мечу на телевизијској емисији, такмичар у тешкој категорији Ото Валин забележио је технички нокаут у 2:32 петог кола против Тревиса Кауфмана, који је поново покидао леву лабрум на почетку пете рунде и није могао да подигне руку. Судија Мајкл Ортега означио је крај борбе, а потом је Кауфман објавио да се повлачи из бокса., само неколико дана испред његовог 35^тх рођендан.

29-годишњи Валин (21-1, 14 КОс) који је имао четири инча у висини предности у односу на Кауфмана, рекао је да осећа за повређеног Кауфмана, али је доминирао борбом. „Сломио сам га. Остало ми је много,“, рекао је Валин. „Штета што је на крају повредио раме, али сам га сломио и погодио га добрим чистим ударцима.”

Валин је изгледао оштро када се вратио у ринг први пут откако је умало победио Тајсона Фјурија у септембру 2019. Он је слетео 12 убода по рунди и 54 проценат његових удараца снаге током борбе. Тренутно живи у Њујорку и првобитно представља свој родни Сундсвал, Шведска, Валин је имао бившег шампиона Јоеиа Гамацхеа у свом углу за меч.

Оба борца су се опоравила од повреда у недавној прошлости, као и вирус ЦОВИД-19. „Нисам осетио ништа од ЦОВИД-а,“, рекао је Валин. „Имао сам одличан тренинг. Био сам болестан у марту, али ЦОВИД ме није јако погодио. Ја сам имао среће. Жао ми је свих који су изгубили животе због ЦОВИД-а.

„Желим да се следеће вратим у Њујорк и да се мало опустим. Већ дуго тренирам, скоро годину дана. Зато желим да се мало опустим и надам се да ћу се моћи поново борити до краја године.”

34-годишњи Кауффман (32-4, 23 КОс) из Реадинга, Па., борио се први пут у пет година и седам борби без свог тренера Наазима Рицхардсона, који је неочекивано умро прошлог месеца. Након туче, Кауфман је рекао да се повлачи из бокса.

„Поцепао сам леву лабрум спремајући се за [Луис] Ортизова борба,“, рекао је Кауффман. „Као лутка, Чекао сам пет месеци да га оперишем после борбе са Ортизом [децембар оф 2018]. Почео сам да се осећам боље и планирао сам да се борим за подешавање у марту, али онда се десио ЦОВИД. Ова прилика се указала и нисам желео да је пропустим и осећао сам се добро. У првом колу сам га повредио. сам осетио, али онда је нестало и помислио сам да је можда то само мој ум и отишао је. Онда сам у петој рунди чуо и то је било то. Опет је било поцепано.

"Завршио сам. идем у пензију. ја имам децу. Радим ово дуго времена,“, рекао је Кауффман.

ЊУЈОРК– Август 5, 2020 – Undefeated WBC Super Middleweight World ChampionDavиd “El Bandera Roja” Benavídezће бранити титулу против бившег светску титулу изазивачаАлекис Ангулоin a Premier Boxing Champions event Saturday, August 15 live on SHOWTIME from Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Цонн.

The SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING^® ТВ пренос почиње у 9 п.м. ЕТ / 6 п.м. PT and also features rising lightweightRolando “Rolly” Romeroузимајући у момка без поразаJackson Maríñezin a 12-round battle for the interim WBA Lightweight Title, while heavyweight contendersОтто ВаллиниТравис Кауффманsquare off in a 10-round showdown.

“David Benavídez will look to keep his perfect record intact, continue to display his superstar potential and further cement his positioning in the stacked 168-pound division,” said Tom Brown, Председник ТГБ Промоције. “As an undefeated world champ, Benavídez can expect a strong challenge from Alexis Angulo, which should create an action-packed main event on SHOWTIME. Combined with a battle of hungry unbeaten lightweights in ‘Rolly’ Romero and Jackson Maríñez, plus a heavyweight slugfest between Otto Wallin and Travis Kauffman, this shapes up to be another can’t miss night of high-stakes action.”

“It’s going to be great to be in the corner of David ‘El Bandera Roja’ Benavídez on fight night,” said Sampson Lewkowicz of Sampson Boxing, who is recovering from a recent surgery. “I feel so good and so strong and I truly can’t wait to be there to support the youngest super middleweight champion in history.”

The event is promoted by TGB Promotions and Sampson Boxing. The Romero vs. Maríñez bout is co-promoted by Mayweather Promotions.

The 23-year-old Benavídez (22-0, 19 КОс) defends his belt after defeating two-time super middleweight champion Anthony Dirrell in September, stopping him in nine rounds. Benavidez is trained by his father José Sr., alongside his brother and former title challenger, José Jr. У 2017, he became the youngest super middleweight champion in boxing history by defeating Ronald Gavril on SHOWTIME at just 20 година стар. Representing his native Phoenix, Ариз. Benavídez went from a 15-year-old prodigy sparring with Gennady Golovkin and Peter Quillin, to world title contender with a 10-fight knockout streak from 2015 кроз 2017, including a highlight-reel knockout of Rogelio Medina with a seven-punch combination that earned him his first championship fight.

“It’s been almost a year since the last time I fought, so I’m very eager to get back in the ring and give the fans a great fight,” said Benavídez. “Training camp has been amazing. Срећом, my dad opened his own gym just before the pandemic, so we’ve had private training and been able to safely bring in sparring partners to help me work. I’m facing a very tricky and rugged fighter, so I’m taking him very seriously. I feel like I can take advantage of some openings in his defense and look for the knockout like I do every fight.”

Born in El Bordo, Colombia and now fighting out of Miami, Фла., Ангуло (26-1, 22 КОс) enters his second world title opportunity on a three-fight winning streak, including two triumphs over previously unbeaten fighters. Angulo stopped Reinaldo Gonzalez in 2018 in his first fight since losing a decision to then-super middleweight champion Gilberto Ramirez earlier that year. He scored a decision victory this January over Anthony Sims Jr. to put himself in position to again challenge the best in the division.

“I’m ready for anything that happens in the ring on August 15,” said Angulo. “This is going to be a great fight for the fans because of the style I bring to the ring. Benavidez is a strong champion, but my style will be too much for him and I will have my hand raised on fight night.”

Фигхтинг из Лас Вегаса, Nev., Romero(11-0, 10 КОс) added three knockout victories to his tally in 2019 before his 2020 debut saw him stop previously unbeaten Arturs Ahmetovs in February. A fast-rising prospect in the Mayweather Promotions stable, the 24-year-old is ranked No. 10 by the WBA and will look to extend his six-fight knockout streak on August 15.

“It feels great to return to the ring and to be fighting for such a great opportunity,“, рекао је Ромеро. “This has been the best camp of my career, and I’ll just say this, if a pandemic is holding you back from training, then you don’t want it bad enough. I already believe I should be here with the top guys, but the world will actually get to see that I am who I say I am. I’m confident in my abilities as a fighter and I have the best in the business, Флоид Маивеатхер, behind me. I think this fight will end fairly quickly, but you will get to see the growth in me as a fighter. This is another fight that will further prove I’m here to stay. Sign up for KO’s!”

“This is a big step up for Rolando, and he’s been waiting for the opportunity to showcase his talent,” said Leonard Ellerbe, Директор Маивеатхер Промотионс. “He has a big test ahead to prove himself. This is going to be another one that you don’t want to miss, so tune-in to SHOWTIME on Saturday, August 15.”

29-годишњи Марињез (19-0, 7 КОс) holds the WBA’s No. 6 ранкинг, which he earned with victories over Rolando Giono and Kenin Betancourt while picking up eight wins between 2018 и 2019. Representing his native Santo Domingo, Доминиканска Република, 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 КОс) will return to the ring for the first time since he nearly defeated Tyson Fury in September 2019, when he opened up a gruesome cut over Fury’s right eye with a legal punch that nearly halted the fight. While the 29-year-old lost a decision, he proved his mettle as a potential future heavyweight champion. Representing his native Sundsvall, Шведска, Wallin trains in New York with former champion Joey Gamache.

“I’m very happy to finally be back in the ring,” said Wallin. “It’s been a long and crazy year in many ways and it feels great to be getting ready to step back into the ring. I’ve been training steady since the Fury fight and I feel like I’ve developed my game in a lot of ways. Kauffman is a tough veteran that can both come forward or box if he wants to. He’s a fan friendly fighter and I have to be ready at all times. We have a great game plan as always and I’m in excellent shape. I know I have all the tools to beat Kauffman.”

A veteran of the heavyweight landscape, Кауфман (32-3, 23 КОс) owns a ledger that includes challenges of top heavyweights including Luis Ortiz, Chris Arreola and Amir Mansour, између осталог. The Reading, Pennsylvania native lost his most recent bout to Ortiz, following a 2018 triumph over Scott Alexander.

“This is my first training camp in seven years without Brother Naazim Richardson, but I know that he wouldn’t want me to leave camp and he’d want me to stay focused,” said Kauffman. “Having him pass away while I was in camp was one of the hardest things I’ve had to deal with, but there’s adversity in every camp I’ve had. I wouldn’t feel right if there wasn’t adversity to overcome. Мој отац, Marshall, stepped back in as my head trainer. We know we’re facing a young, hungry fighter, but I have more experience than him and I don’t think he can last 10 rounds with me when I’m at 100% like I’ll be on August 15.”
