Father Benavides: "It would be an honor to fight Shiraz"

Dmitriy Kel July 14, 2025, 2 p.m.

José Benavides Sr., father of world champion WBC super middleweight David Benavides, stated that he wants to arrange a fight for his son against Hamza Shiraz.

“It would be an honor to fight Shiraz. He is a great person. Today he showed that he deserves to fight anyone. For us, it would be a wonderful fight. He is a good fighter. Shiraz showed that today. It would be an exciting match. So if Turki Al Sheikh organizes it, then we would have no problem fighting.

When Shiraz fought, he reminded me a bit of Sebastian Fundora. He is extremely tall. He could fight in heavyweight. Shiraz could compete in many weight classes. Today you saw how he adapts, how disciplined he is, and what power both of his hands possess. It will be very interesting for the viewers," said Benavides Sr.

Let us remind you that on the night of July 12 to 13, Shiraz defeated Edgar Berlanga by technical knockout in the fifth round.
