David Benavidez renews promotional contract with Sampson Boxing | Boxen247.com

Sampson Lewkowicz proudly announces that Interim WBC World Super Middleweight Champion, David “El Bandera Roja” Benavidez has again renewed his exclusive multi-year promotional agreement with Sampson Boxing.

Already the youngest super middleweight world champion in boxing history, the now 25-year-old Benavidez (26-0, 23 KOs), is currently a two-time champion and one of the most feared fighters on the planet.

The Phoenix-based slugger will face former champion Caleb ‘Sweethands’ Plant in a final WBC 168-lb title eliminator in March to decide the mandatory for world champion Canelo Alvarez. Currently deep in training for the match, Benavidez says he’s happy to continue his promotional relationship with Lewkowicz.

“I feel great re-signing with Sampson,” he said during a break. “I’m happy to continue with him and very appreciative for his help building my career from nearly the beginning.”

Father, co-manager and trainer Jose Benavidez says he’s thankful for the well-known promoter’s work on his son’s career. “He (Sampson) was the first to believe in David. Now, everyone wants to sign him. The reason we got those belts is because of the work he put in. We’re super exited to continue this journey and to be able to get these big fights.”

“The team that achieved the youngest super middleweight champ of all time is joined contractually and as a family,” said Benavidez’ co-manager David Garcia. “I’m looking forward to David achieving more than he ever has in the coming years.”

“I’m very happy to be able to continue this journey with ‘El Bandera Roja,’” said Sampson Lewkowicz. “David is in line for many big fights that will define his legacy as one of the greats and I’m very proud to be his promoter and for all he has already done and all he will do in the near future.”

Boxen247.com Boxing News Canelo Alvarez, David Benavidez, Sampson Lewkowicz 0

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.

In response, 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.

A bonafide spoiler, 28-year-old Herrera (17-4-1, 8 KOs) of Catamarca, Argentina, has never been stopped in his professional career and is coming off an impressive unanimous decision victory over his then 13-1 countryman Sergio Damian Rosalez last May.

Coachella, California via Panama City’s undefeated southpaw featherweight Jose “Magnifico” Nunez (12-0-2, 5 KOs) will take on Mexican warrior Jesus Arturo “Chucho” Guzman (8-4, 5 KOs) in an eight-rounder, and rounding out the action will be Panama City’s own Alexis Moreno (2-1, 2 KOs) in a four-round lightweight bout vs. TBA.

Sembrando Campeones, an amateur boxing tournament featuring the next wave of Panamanian champions is scheduled to begin the show. The primary sponsor for these events is Mexican gambling-industry giant Caliente.

Boxen247.com Boxing News Sampson Boxing, Sampson Lewkowicz, WBA 0

The rescue of Panamanian boxing begins with two WBA world fights | Boxen247.com

Panamanian boxing woke up this Monday with a very promising announcement. Promoter Sampson Lewkowicz, together with the World Boxing Association (WBA) and multiple collaborators held a press conference to announce all the details of the “Boxeo Caliente” program, which aims to rescue the activity in the country.

There will be a series of events (six in ten months to begin with) that will be held in Panama and that seek to activate the sport that has given so many glories to local and Latin American boxing.

Representatives of the Panamanian Sports Institute and the national government were also present, in addition to the leaders of the company “Caliente”, who will have a leading role in this plan.

The spokesmen announced that the first event will take place on August 13th and that it will have the bout between Panamanian Jaime Arboleda and Argentinean Jonathan Barros for the WBA-Fedebol Super Featherweight title as the main fight. On the same event, Panamanian Nathaly Delgado and Gabriela Fundora will fight for the WBA Female Interim Super Flyweight belt.

On September 10th, the second confirmed event will take place, in which local Ronal Batista will fight Mexican Alejandro Santiago for the WBA Interim 115 lbs. title.

It was also confirmed that TyC Sports will have the broadcasting rights for this series of bouts.

The WBA is proud that Panama is coming back with this initiative. The pioneer body’s home has a lot of talent and being able to showcase this type of events to the world will contribute to the growth of the discipline and the sport in general.

The new era of Panamanian boxing | Boxen247.com

This morning from the beautiful country of Panama, the presentation of a new era for Panamanian boxing called “Hot Boxing.”

Promoter Sampson Lewkowicz, who is thrilled about this resurgence of boxing in Panama, says this country is a great place for producing champions and that as of today the world will know the talent of its boxers.

He added that these cards are sponsored by Caliente who without thinking twice endeavored in favor of boxing. He also explained that the first show will take place on August 13, starring Jaimito Arboleada against Jonathan Barros and representing women’s boxing Nataly Delgado against Gabriela Fundora, who has just made her professional debut.

This is the first of six events that will take place in the next 10 months and which will be broadcast through TyC Sports network.

For WBC President Mauricio Sulaiman, this announcement is very important not only for Panamanian boxing but for that of the whole world, because this type of effort and initiatives are so needed, especially after such a complicated year for everyone where the Covid-19 pandemic has hit our beloved sport hard.

“I am very happy to be part of this important event, because this announcement is a manifestation of goodwill and the need to activate boxing worldwide, Panama is a land of champions and I am sure that the new idols will emerge”-he commented-

He recalled that unforgettable visit to the President of Panama, Doctor Laurentino Cortizo, to whom he presented a world champion belt, the famous “Green and Gold.”

A visit that the WBC leader recalled as a watershed heralding this moment that we live today, because Panama was one of the founding countries of the WBC almost six decades ago, recalling also the great Panamanian champions, among them: Roberto Durán, Ismael Laguna, Hilario Zapata and many others who are remembered with great pride.

This is how Panama returns to the forefront elite of the boxing stages with highly competitive cards that we are sure will be seen by millions of boxing fans.

Javier Fortuna Team Send Request to WBC Ordering Devin Haney Fight

Boxen247.com Uncategorized Devin Haney, Javier Fortuna, Sampson Lewkowicz 0

Fortuna Team Send Request to WBC For Haney Fight | boxen247.com

This afternoon, Sampson Lewkowicz, promoter of two-time world champion and WBC #2 lightweight contender Javier “El Abejon” Fortuna (36-2-1, 25 KO’s), is submitting a formal request to the WBC for them to order negotiations to begin immediately for Fortuna to face current WBC Lightweight Champion Devin Haney (25-0, 15 KO’s).

In his request, Lewkowicz cites the extended series of cancelled and declined fights for his top-rated fighter:

After fighting his way to the #1 spot in the WBC ratings last November, Fortuna was supposed to face England’s Luke Campbell in April of this year for the vacant lightweight championship after champion Haney was sidelined by shoulder injury and named a “champion in recess.” However, the COVID-19 pandemic prevented the fight from happening and gave Haney adequate time to recover.
The WBC then reinstated Haney as champion and granted him a voluntary defense. They further mandated that Fortuna and Campbell meet for the WBC interim lightweight championship and then face the winner of Haney’s voluntary defense immediately after. That arrangement fell through though, when Campbell’s promoter, Eddie Hearn, announced he was planning to step over #1 contender Fortuna to make a fight between Haney and #2 contender Campbell.
With Fortuna now looking for a new opponent, representatives from Golden Boy Promotions offered him a fight against WBC #3-ranked Ryan Garcia, which Fortuna agreed to without hesitation, only to be later notified that “Kingry” didn’t want to face Fortuna.
Lewkowicz then arranged for Fortuna to face Jorge Linares (47-5, 29 KO’s), the WBC #5 contender and a former featherweight, super featherweight and lightweight world champion for the WBC Diamond Belt in August. Unfortunately, Linares announced he had COVID-19 a couple weeks before the fight and it was also cancelled.
Since then, Haney has gone on to successfully make his voluntary defense against former champion Yuriorkis Gamboa in November and Ryan Garcia is set to face Luke Campbell in January of next year.
Fortuna, now the WBC #2 contender after the insertion of former champ Vasyl Lomachenko into the #1 spot, was finally able to find someone to fight and looked sensational this past weekend while stopping tough Mexican Antonio Lozada Torres in six rounds.

Given these circumstances, Team Fortuna believes they are justified in requesting the WBC to grant this request for an immediate Fortuna vs. Haney fight. Fortuna has been a #1 or #2 contender for over a year while lower-rated contenders have secured fights against each other. With Lomachenko tied up looking for a rematch against Teofimo Lopez, the Fortuna vs. Haney fight is a worthy matchup between champion and available top contender.

“Through his entire career, Javier Fortuna has fought anyone willing to fight,” said Lewkowicz. “He looked sensational beating Lozada on Saturday and has been a top contender for an exceptionally long time. He deserves an immediate shot at Devin Haney’s championship. I am sure the WBC will agree that the time has come for his long-awaited title challenge.
