David Benavidez to Fight for Interim WBC Super Middleweight Championship Next

Leave a comment
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.


En resposta, Lewkowicz immediately requested that Benavidez (25-0, 22 Kos), 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.

Os irmáns Benavídez teñen a vista posta en impresionar aos afeccionados da súa cidade natal nos esperados combates de regreso a casa en novembro 13, que marcará a súa primeira vez que entran no ring en Phoenix desde entón 2015.

Os ingresos para o evento en directo, que está promovido por Sampson Boxing e TGB Promotions, están á venda agora e están dispoñibles para a súa compra Ticketmaster.com.

Velaí o que teñen os irmáns Benavídez, máis o seu pai e adestrador Jose Benavídez Sr., tiña que dicir desde o campo de adestramento en North Hollywood, California:

DAVID BENAVÍDEZ

"Todo foi incrible no campamento. Estamos sparring 12-13 roldas e correndo seis ou sete quilómetros ao día. Traballei moi duro e non podo esperar para facer un concerto en novembro 13.

“Uzcátegui é un duro competidor e foi un antigo campión do mundo, así que teño que darlle ese respecto. Hai grandes loitas no horizonte para min, polo que teño que prepararme en consecuencia para Uzcátegui.

"Sinto que son o mellor loitador. Teño mellores habilidades, máis poder, máis velocidade e tamén teño máis fame. Vai ser unha gran noite para o meu equipo. Sinto que vou entrar alí e conseguir a vitoria por eliminatoria.

"Moita xente en Phoenix está emocionada por este. Estou emocionado de volver. O momento é perfecto. Para min, esta é a loita máis grande da miña carreira. Estou preparado para todo o que se me presente en novembro 13.

“Só estamos concentrados en Uzcategui, pero por suposto que hai pelexas máis grandes para min no futuro. Se gano esta loita, Estou no primeiro posto para quen gañe entre Canelo Álvarez e Caleb Plant.

"Enfrontar a Canelo sería unha gran loita na división de peso súper mediano, pero teño que saír en novembro 13 e conseguir esta vitoria primeiro.

"Agora mesmo, co nivel no que estou, os loitadores contra os que busco loitar son campións e antigos campións. Xa sexa Canelo, Plant ou Jermall Charlo, Sinto que todos imos acabar enfrontándonos nalgún momento.

“Canelo vs. Plant é unha gran loita pola división. É unha loita na que os dous mozos teñen moito que demostrar. Ese tipo de loitas tenden a sacar o mellor de todos. Hai moita presión e moita gloria na liña, así que sinto que van ser os mellores que foron. Vou estar preparado para o seguinte gañador.

"Xa levo oito anos como profesional. Só quero as pelexas máis grandes que hai. Este é o nivel ao que traballei durante moito tempo, e por fin estamos aquí neste momento. Quero loitar contra o mellor dos mellores e demostrarme. Quero demostrar que son o mellor supermediano do mundo.

“Uzcátegui é forte e ten ganas de gañar, pero só creo que teño o mellor conxunto de habilidades. Estes son os tipos de loitadores contra os que teño que probarme. Definitivamente vai ser unha guerra, pero vou saír arriba".

JOSE BENAVÍDEZ

"Séntase moi ben estar nesta tarxeta co meu irmán, e estar facendo a miña volta na miña cidade natal. Vai haber moito apoio para min. É unha gran sensación e estou desexando darlle aos meus fans un gran resultado.

"Tiña que facer un descanso, pero agora teño un tipo de mentalidade diferente. Só quero seguir loitando, adestrar e estar preparado. Quero chegar á cima da división superwelter.

"O atraso deume máis tempo para adestrar, máis tempo para facerse máis forte e máis tempo para prepararse. Acabo de aproveitalo ao máximo.

"Vou ser un animal na noite de loita. veño por todo. Estou con fame. Levo anos fóra do ring, polo que teño que facer unha declaración. Iso é o que estou buscando facer en novembro 13.

"Aquí temos un gran equipo. Todos vimos da nada e todos comezamos esta viaxe ao mesmo tempo. Aprendemos día a día e iso é o que fai forte o noso vínculo. Sen o meu equipo, Non estaría boxeo.

"Teño moitos amigos, familia e fans que están saíndo para o meu regreso. Iso é realmente o que me motiva. Estou feliz de que a xente aínda queira verme no ring.

"Eu non sei moito sobre o meu adversario, e sinceramente non me importa, porque o estou derribando. Non importa a quen me poñan diante, boa sorte para eles.

"Despois da miña loita, que vou rematar cedo, Vou estar preparado para saír co meu irmán e apoialo na súa loita.

"Levo moito tempo coa miña muller e as miñas dúas fillas durante este tempo de descanso porque había moitas cousas polas que non puiden estar preto ao principio da miña carreira.. Foi incrible pero estou emocionado de volver. Aínda teño moito que demostrar".

JOSÉ BENAVÍDEZ SR., Pai e Adestrador de David e José

"David parece moi forte agora mesmo. Con cada loita faise máis e máis forte e madura cada vez máis. Só está collendo forzas ao seu home, así que creo que todo o mundo vai ver algo espectacular en novembro 13.

"As palabras nin sequera poden describir o que se sente ao volver a Phoenix adestrando aos meus dous fillos para este gran espectáculo.. É algo que só soñei. Agora está a suceder, e estamos super emocionados.

“Sempre teño que seguir axustándome e medrando como adestrador. Teño que entender que agora son homes adultos. Tiven que deixar de pensar neles como os meus fillos pequenos. Sempre estou tentando aprender máis para poder apoiar as súas carreiras o mellor posible.

"Estou moi orgulloso de que Jose chegue a este punto despois da súa lesión. Todo o que fai agora é só extra, tócalle a el manterse concentrado e traballar duro. É moi forte tanto física como mentalmente e por iso nunca me dei por vencido.

"Estivemos dedicándonos e sacrificándonos todos os días para poder ofrecer á nosa xente en Phoenix un espectáculo moi bo.. Van ter unha noite emocionante e non podo esperar".

Unbeaten Super Bantamweight Contender Carlos Castro Faces Former Title Challenger Oscar Escandon To Open Telecast

PHOENIX (Xullo 29, 2021) – Dobre campión do mundo invicto David "A Bandeira Vermella" Benavidez will square off against former champion José Uzcategui in a WBC Super Middleweight title eliminator as Benavídez returns to his hometown of Phoenix for the first time in six years in the SHOWTIME main event on Saturday, Agosto 28 in a Premier Boxing Champions event from Footprint Center – home of the Phoenix Suns and Mercury.

A transmisión Showtime Championship Boxing comeza ás 10 p.m. ET / 7 p.m. PT e contará co tan esperado regreso do aspirante de longa data Jose Benavídez, o irmán maior de David Benavídez, fronte á Arxentina Francisco Emanuel Torres no evento co-principal de peso súper welter de 10 asaltos. Kicking off the telecast is undefeated contender Carlos Castro taking on former title challenger Oscar Escandon nun 10 redonda super galo loita. The Benavídez brothers and Castro hail from Phoenix and have their sights set on impressing their hometown fans.

Os ingresos para o evento en directo, que está promovido por Sampson Boxing e TGB Promotions, están á venda agora e están dispoñibles para a súa compra Ticketmaster.com.

“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.”

Aínda ten só 24 anos, Benavidez (24-0, 21 Kos) entra nesta loita noqueando aos seus últimos catro opoñentes, incluíndo un setembro 2019 nocaut do dobre campión de peso súper mediano Anthony Dirrell. Máis recentemente, he earned stoppage victories over Roamer Alexis Angulo in August 2020 and Ronald Ellis in March of this year. Benavídez é adestrado polo seu pai José Sr., xunto ao seu irmán e antigo retador ao título, José Jr.. En 2017, converteuse no campión de peso súper mediano máis novo da historia do boxeo ao derrotar a Ronald Gavril en SHOWTIME apenas 20 anos. Representando ao seu Phoenix natal, Silvestre., Benavídez pasou de ser un mozo prodixio de 15 anos de combate con Gennady Golovkin e Peter Quillin., ao aspirante ao título mundial cunha racha de eliminatorias de 10 combates desde 2015 A través dos 2017, incluíndo un nocaut destacado de Rogelio Medina cunha combinación de sete golpes que lle valeu a súa primeira oportunidade de título..

“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, México, Uzcategui (31-4, 26 Kos) 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 A través dos 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. El é un gran loitador, 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 Kos) 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, Arxentina, Torres (17-3, 5 Kos) 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 Kos) 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. En agosto 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, Colombia, Escandon (26-5, 18 Kos) 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. Máis recentemente, 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, Conner. – Marzo 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, Conner., in a Premier Boxing Champions event.

Phoenix’s Benavidez (24-0, 21 Kos) flashed brilliant hand speed, accuracy and power as he dominated Ellis (18-2-2, 12 Kos) de Lynn, De Masa., sobre 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) at the time of the stoppage.

“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, el é un cara duro. 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, aterraxe 289 de 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 socos. Following his dominating win on SHOWTIME, Benavidez is one step closer to reclaiming a super middleweight world title.

“I want all the big guys,” Benavidez added. “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. Quería [Jermall] Charlo, Canelo Alvarez, Caleb Mapa, 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 da súa 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. El nunca me machucar, 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, que era 66 anos, 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.”

No co-main event, Isaac Cruz (21-1-1, 15 Kos) of Mexico City earned a unanimous decision victory over Argentina’s Matias Romero (24-1, 8 Kos) 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 e 118-109. SHOWTIME’s unofficial scorer Steve Farhood scored the fight 115-112, giving rounds 10 A través dos 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,", Dixo 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, con todo, 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, aterraxe 89 de 282, but it was Cruz’s power punching that ultimately earned him the victory. Cruz, who is now the No. 1 contender for a world title shot at 135 libras, desembarcou 145 de 459 golpes de enerxía, Incluíndo 91 tiros do corpo.

“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 Kos) scored an impressive second-round technical knockout over fellow Ohioan Jamontay Clark (15-2-1, 7 Kos) de 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 da segunda rolda.

“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, o 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.”

Sábado Showtime Championship Boxing telecast will replay Sunday at 8:55 a.m. ET/PT on SHOWTIME and Monday at 10 p.m. ET on SHOWTIME EXTREME.

Uncasville, Conner. - Agosto 16, 2020 – David Benavidez kept his unbeaten record intact after 23 fights with a dominating performance against Alexis Angulo in the main event of an exciting night of boxing live on SHOWTIME Saturday night from Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Conner., presented by Premier Boxing Champions.

Na canle Showtime Championship Boxing® tripleheader card, the 23-year-old Benavídez (23-0, 20 Kos) – who lost his WBC world title belt on the scale on Friday – scored a stoppage victory against the former world title challenger Angulo (26-2, 22 Kos), whose corner threw in the towel after the 10th redondo.

“I rate myself a solid eight,” Benavidez said. “I could have done some stuff better, but overall it was a great performance. I didn’t want to go too fast and leave myself exposed for some big shots. He’s a heavy puncher. But like I said, I like to do the stuff that nobody has ever done. Nobody has ever stopped him and I’m pretty sure nobody is ever going to make him look like that again. I demolished him from round one to round 10.”

A seven-year pro at the age of 23, Benavidez landed 56 percent of his power punches in the fight and averaged 29 de 70 punches thrown per round. Benavidez closed the show by landing a career high 54 punches in round 10.

Colombia’s Angulo, agora loitando fóra de Miami, Fla., entered his second world title opportunity riding a three-fight winning streak, but was unable to come counter anything Benavidez threw at him.

Benavidez said he was disappointed and embarrassed by not making the 168-pound weight limit on Friday. “Everything everyone said about me is true,” Benavidez said. “I should be a professional and come in on weight, but this time I couldn’t do it. It’s my first time not making weight in eight years of being a professional.”

“I really have to talk to my promoter to see what’s next,” Benavidez added. “I’ll fight anybody to get back to the spot I was. You could see by this performance tonight, I could put on a great performance against anybody and people will pay to see that. I’m probably going to go right back into training camp to make sure I don’t miss weight.”

No co-main event, rising lightweight Rolando “Rolly” Romero (12-0, 10 Kos) scored a controversial unanimous decision over previously fellow unbeaten Jackson Maríñez (19-1, 7 Kos) to capture the interim WBA Lightweight Title. Os correas foron 115-113, 116-112 e 118-110, all in favor of Romero.

The story of the fight was Maríñez’s reliable jabs as the Dominican fighter won the battle in that department (14 percent compared to Romero’s 10 por cento). It was Romero, con todo, who held the advantage on power punches connecting on 24 por cento (31 de 228) en comparación con 18 percent for Maríñez (72 de 401).

“I don’t think I had a bad performance,” said Romero, who confidently predicted a brutal knockout would end the bout in his pre-fight comments. “I thought I won the fight. Regardless of everything, I’m the world champ now. Estou feliz. "

Romero suffered a slight cut above his left eye in the ninth round on a head butt, but it didn’t seem to affect his performance in the championship rounds. “He came out a little bit tougher and slicker than what I thought,” Romero said. “But all he did was move around the entire fight. He didn’t even try to engage. It’s hard to knock out someone who doesn’t try to engage. I hurt him multiple times with body shots and a few hooks. There was one moment I hurt him with a right hand and he pulled my head down. It was just hard to finish him off.

"Si [I would give him a rematch]. He didn’t do anything special.”

The 29-year-old Maríñez, who holds the WBA’s No. 6 posición, is trained by Robert Garcia, who was not present in the Maríñez’s corner electing not to travel cross country from his Southern California home.

“That was pure robbery,” Maríñez said. “I won the fight. I out-jabbed, out-boxed him. You could tell he didn’t think he won the fight right afterwards. It’s a robbery.”

Na loita de a cerimonia de apertura, heavyweight contender Otto Wallin recorded a TKO at 2:32 of the fifth round against Travis Kauffman, who re-tore his left labrum at the start of the fifth round and was unable to lift his arm. Referee Michael Ortega signaled the end of the fight and afterwards Kauffman announced he was retiring from boxing, just days ahead of his 35th aniversario.

The 29-year-old Wallin (21-1, 14 Kos) who had a four-inch height advantage over Kauffman, said he felt for the injured Kauffman, but was dominating the fight. “I was breaking him down. I had a lot left,” Wallin said. “Too bad he hurt his shoulder in the end, but I was breaking him and hitting him with good clean shots.”

Wallin looked sharp in his return to the ring for the first time since he nearly defeated Tyson Fury in September 2019. El desembarcou 12 jabs per round and 54 percent of his power shots throughout the fight. Currently living in New York City and originally Representing his native Sundsvall, Suecia, Wallin had former champion Joey Gamache in his corner for the bout.

Both fighters have recovered from injury in the recent past, as well as the COVID-19 virus. “I didn’t feel anything from COVID,” Wallin said. “I had great training. I was sick in March, but COVID didn’t hit me very hard. I was lucky. I’m sorry for everyone who lost their lives due to COVID.

“I want to go back to New York next and relax a little bit. I’ve been training for a long time now, almost a year. So I want to relax a little bit and hopefully I can fight again by the end of the year.”

The 34-year-old Kauffman (32-4, 23 Kos) from Reading, Pa., was fighting for the first time in five years and seven fights without his trainer Naazim Richardson, who died unexpectedly last month. Tras a loita, Kauffman said he was retiring from boxing.

“I tore my left labrum getting ready for the [Luís] Ortiz fight,” Kauffman said. “Like a dummy, I waited five months to have surgery on it after the Ortiz fight [December of 2018]. I started feeling better and was going to do a tune-up fight in March, but then COVID happened. This opportunity came up and I didn’t want to pass it up and I felt good. In the first round I hurt it. I felt it, but then it went away and I thought maybe it’s just my mind and it went away. Then in the fifth round I heard it and that was it. It was torn again.

“I’m done. I’m retiring. I have kids. I’ve been doing this a long time,” Kauffman said.

“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, Presidente da TGB Promocións. “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 Kos) 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., xunto ao seu irmán e antigo retador ao título, José Jr.. En 2017, converteuse no campión de peso súper mediano máis novo da historia do boxeo ao derrotar a Ronald Gavril en SHOWTIME apenas 20 anos. Representando ao seu Phoenix natal, Silvestre. Benavídez pasou de ser un mozo prodixio de 15 anos de combate con Gennady Golovkin e Peter Quillin., ao aspirante ao título mundial cunha racha de eliminatorias de 10 combates desde 2015 A través dos 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. Afortunadamente, 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, Fla., Angulo (26-1, 22 Kos) 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.”

Loitando fóra de Las Vegas, Nev., Romero(11-0, 10 Kos) 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,” said Romero. “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, Floyd Mayweather, 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, CEO de Promocións Mayweather. “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.”

The 29-year-old Maríñez (19-0, 7 Kos) holds the WBA’s No. 6 posición, which he earned with victories over Rolando Giono and Kenin Betancourt while picking up eight wins between 2018 e 2019. Representing his native Santo Domingo, República Dominicana, 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 Kos) 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, Suecia, 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, Kauffman (32-3, 23 Kos) owns a ledger that includes challenges of top heavyweights including Luis Ortiz, Chris Arreola and Amir Mansour, entre outros. 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. Meu pai, 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.”

Additional non-televised action will include super middleweight contenderAlantez Fox(26-2-1, 12 Kos) battling Ghana’sHabib Ahmed(27-1-1, 18 Kos) in an eight-round attraction.
