PHOENIX, Ariz. – David Benavidez, the younger brother of WBA interim junior-welterweight champion Jose Benavidez Jr., is scheduled for a main event Saturday night at Celebrity Theatre.
The 18-year-old David Benavidez, 7-0 with 6 knockouts as a super-middleweight and light-heavyweight, faces experienced Rollin Williams (23-20-2, 8 KOs) in a 175-pound bout on a card staged by Iron Boy Promotions.
David often trains with his brother, 22-year-old Jose (22-0, 15 KOs), who defends his title for the first time on May 15 against Jorge Paez Jr. (38-5-2, 23 KOs) on May 15 at US Airways Center in downtown Phoenix. Jose won the 140-pound belt with a controversial decision over Mauricio Herrera last December in Las Vegas.
Saturday’s first bell is scheduled for 5 p.m. (PST)
