==Notes==
*In 2009, Chisora was suspended by the [[BBBofC]] for four months and fined 2,500 pounds for biting his opponent [[Paul Butlin]]'s ear. The foul was not seen by the official, however, and Chisora went on to win on points.
*In 2012, Chisora was suspended and fined by the [[WBC]] for slapping [[Vitali Klitschko]] at the weigh-in for their bout and by the [[BBBofC]] for a brawl with [[David Haye]] which occurred during the post-fight interview for his bout with Vitali.
*In May, 2016, at Dereck Chisora's weigh in vs [[Kubrat Pulev]], Dereck was struck by a plastic bottle from a member of Pulev's team. Chisora surged off the stage in an attempt to confront the man with security struggling to prevent the event turning ugly. Chisora appeared to throw several bouncers aside in pursuit of the man, who was eventually escorted towards a back door. [http://www.skysports.com/boxing/news/12183/10271924/kubrat-pulev-v-dereck-chisora-weigh-in-descends-into-drama]
*On December 2016, Chisora was fined £25,000, plus £5,000 costs by the [[BBBoC]] after he lost his temper and threw a table at [[Dillian Whyte]] in the pre-fight press conference. They warned him that he will lose his fighter's licence again if he causes any more trouble in the next two years. [http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/boxing/dereck-chisora-fined-25000-hit-9420321]

==Career Overview==
'''Wilfred Benitez''' was a boxing prodigy. He was an outstanding counter-puncher and a great defensive fighter, which earned him the nickname "El Radar."

Benitez defeated [[Antonio Cervantes]] by a fifteen-round decision to win the [[WBA]] Junior Welterweight Championship on [[Antonio Cervantes vs. Wilfred Benitez|March 6, 1976]]. At the age of 17 years, 5 months, and 23 days, he became the youngest world champion in boxing history. After two title defenses, Benitez was stripped of the championship on November 28, 1976, for failing to meet a contracted title defense date against Cervantes. Benitez was scheduled to fight Cervantes on December 4, 1976, but he was injured in a car accident, and the WBA refused to allow a postponement.

Benitez captured his second world title on [[Carlos Palomino vs. Wilfred Benitez|January 14, 1979]], beating [[Carlos Palomino]] by a fifteen-round decision to win the [[WBC]] Welterweight Championship. In his first title defense, Benitez defeated [[Harold Weston]] by a fifteen-round decision, avenging a ten-round draw with Weston from 1977. Benitez lost the title to [[Sugar Ray Leonard]] by a fifteenth-round technical knockout on [[Wilfred Benitez vs. Sugar Ray Leonard|November 30, 1979]].

Benitez knocked out [[Maurice Hope]] in twelve rounds to win the WBC Super Welterweight Championship on [[Wilfred Benitez vs. Maurice Hope|May 23, 1981]]. He became the first boxer in 43 years to win world titles in three weight divisions. He made two successful title defenses, outpointing [[Carlos Santos]] and [[Roberto Duran]] over fifteen rounds, then lost the title to [[Thomas Hearns]] by a fifteen-round decision on [[Wilfred Benitez vs. Thomas Hearns|December 3, 1982]].

Benitez's time as an elite fighter ended when he was in his mid-20s, but he continued to box until the age of 32 and suffered severe brain damage. His condition is called post-traumatic encephalitis. Benitez's elderly mother took care of him until she passed away in 2008. He is now cared for by his sister, Yvonne. His brother, Gregorio Jr., also suffered brain damage as a result of his boxing career.

Benitez earned more than $7 million dollars in his career, but the money is now gone. He receives pensions from the Puerto Rican government and the WBC.

==Championship Record==
*Has a record of 8-2 (2 KOs) in World Title fights.
*Has a record of 7-4 (1 KOs) against former world titlists.
**Won against [[Antonio Cervantes]], [[Bruce Curry]] (twice), [[Carlos Palomino]], [[Maurice Hope]], [[Carlos Santos]], [[Roberto Duran]].
**Lost against [[Sugar Ray Leonard]], [[Thomas Hearns]], [[Davey Moore]], [[Matthew Hilton]].

==Rankings==
*Boxing historian [[Herbert Goldman]] ranked Benitez as the 5th greatest welterweight of all-time in 1989.
*[[The Ring Magazine|''The Ring'']] ranked Benitez as the [[Division-By-Division - The Greatest Fighters of All-Time|4th greatest junior middleweight of all-time]] in 1994.
*''The Ring'' ranked Benitez as the [[The Top 50 Fighters of the Last 50 Years|30th greatest fighter of the past 50 years]] in 1996.
*The Associated Press ranked Benitez as the 4th greatest junior welterweight of the 20th century in 1999.

*Brother of fellow boxers [[Gregorio Benitez Jr.]] and [[Frankie Benitez]].

Benitez lost the title to [[Sugar Ray Leonard]] by a fifteenth-round technical knockout on [[Wilfred Benitez vs. Sugar Ray Leonard|November 30, 1979]].

Benitez knocked out [[Maurice Hope]] in twelve rounds to win the WBC Super Welterweight Championship on [[Wilfred Benitez vs. Maurice Hope|May 23, 1981]]. He became the first boxer in 43 years to win world titles in three weight divisions. He made two successful title defenses, outpointing [[Carlos Santos]] and [[Roberto Duran]] over fifteen rounds, then lost the title to [[Thomas Hearns]] by a fifteen-round decision on [[Wilfred Benitez vs. Thomas Hearns|December 3, 1982]].

Benitez's time as an elite fighter ended when he was in his mid-20s, but he continued to box until the age of 32 and suffered severe brain damage. His condition is called post-traumatic encephalitis. Benitez's elderly mother took care of him until she passed away in 2008. He is now cared for by his sister, Yvonne. His brother, Gregorio Jr., also suffered brain damage as a result of his boxing career.

Benitez earned more than $7 million dollars in his career, but the money is now gone. He receives pensions from the Puerto Rican government and the WBC.

[[File:18537.jpeg|left|250px]]
<boxer>018537</boxer>
*'''Trainer:''' [[Peter Manfredo]], [[Freddie Roach]]
Peter Manfredo Sr. decided, in September of 2000, it was time for his son to step into the ring for the first time as a professional, after having a stellar amateur career of 154 wins and fewer than 30 losses. '''Peter Manfredo Jr''', perhaps best-known as a contestant on the NBC boxing reality television show [[The Contender (Season 1)|The Contender]], was to be promoted by Jimmy Burchfield's Classic Entertainment & Sports. He scored four knockdowns in his debut as a middleweight and went on to win a lopsided decision over fellow prospect [[Steve Garrett]]. After five pro fights, Manfredo got a taste of the big time as he fought his in first nationally televised bout in August of 2001 on [[ESPN2|ESPN2's]] ''[[ESPN Friday Night Fights]]''. The scheduled six-rounder against [[Rhon Roberts]] (8-2, of Guyana) was reduced to four in order to accommodate ESPN. The two round decrease proved to be a blessing in disguise for Manfredo, considering that he had expended a ton of nervous energy in the dressing room before-hand. However, he went on to dominate Roberts and garnered a unanimous decision victory.

After another unanimous decision win, Manfredo (8-0, 4 KOs), was beginning to make some noise as a New England Middleweight prospect. An opportunity arose for Manfredo to fight again on an ESPN2 ''Friday Night Fights'' show promoted by [[Sugar Ray Leonard]], at Foxwoods Casino in CT. He took the fight on a few days notice after a CES stablemate pulled off the card due to an injury. The fight was the second time Manfredo had fought on ESPN2 but, unfortunately, the contract weight was higher than what he had previously fought at. His opponent was slick, awkward southpaw Ian "The Truth" Gardener. The Canadian, who had a record of 2-0, and was 6' 1", gave the 5' 9" Manfredo trouble with his continuous slapping and holding. Manfredo would eke out a split decision victory, hence the only fight that he has failed to dominate in his 14 bouts to that date as a pro.[[file:manfredo.jpg|right|200px]]

After a knockout victory over [[Kenny Stubbs]], a tough veteran from the Bahamas, Manfredo had an unblemished record of 10-0 (5 KOs). Following the win over Stubbs, Manfredo made a decision that seems to have propelled his career to new heights. Sitting on his stool in his dressing room, he proclaimed that this fight would be the last that he would be weighing-in over 160 lbs. His last three fights had been against fighters who stood 6'1 or 6'2 and Manfredo knew that a change had to be made.

True to his words, Manfredo put his unbeaten record on the line against former title challenger John "Lennox" Lewis, 10-5-1, of Trinidad and Tobago. The fight took place at the Mohegan Sun Casino in CT, and was part of another ESPN2 card promoted by [[Jimmy Burchfield]]. The scheduled six-rounder was again shortened by two rounds. This time it was because of a curfew for the fight card that had been laid down by the casino. The change didn't seem to bother Manfredo, as he unleashed a brutal body attack that had Lewis hurt on numerous occasions. Despite not being able to drop his opponent, Manfredo won a unanimous decision.

After the win over Lewis, he started his downward spiral toward the Junior Middleweight class. His next fight was to be on the undercard of the world title bout between [[Vinny Pazienza|Vinny Paz]] and [[Eric Lucas]]. Manfredo took on tough South Boston veteran [[Tommy Attardo]], 9-6-1. The bout was part of the televised undercard and proved to be Manfredo's best performance to date. After weighing in at a career low 155 lbs, he used his superior hand and foot speed to overmatch Attardo. After dropping his opponent once, he went on to win a lopsided decision. Manfredo was so impressive that night it prompted representatives from Main Events to invite him to train with Junior Middleweight World Champ "Ferocious" [[Fernando Vargas]] in Big Bear, CA, as he prepared for his May title fight with [[Oscar De La Hoya]]. He sparred six times with Vargas over a two week span, gaining invaluable experience from being in the ring with a world class fighter.

Manfredo, then 12-0 (5 KOs), took another step up in his next fight at Foxwoods Casino. The fight was televised by NESN and was against [[Grady Brewer]], 10-3 (7 KOs), from Lawton, Oklahoma. Brewer was the Texas Miller Lite Champion, but on this night he was outclassed by the younger Manfredo. There were no knockdowns in the fight but plenty of action. Manfredo won a unanimous decision while going eight rounds for the first time in his career.

With a record of 13-0, Manfredo was ready for his first title bout. The vacant Eastern Boxing Association Title would be on the line in a 10-round bout at the Rhodes on the Pawtuxet in Cranston, RI. His opponent would be the tough veteran from Baltimore, MD, [[Mike McFail]], 11-9 (3 KOs), who came into the fight with the idea of taking the EBA belt back to the D.C. area. Manfredo had other plans, as he landed a straight right hand on McFail's chin in the first round that sent him to the canvas. McFail would get up but only to absorb a thorough beating until the referee mercifully put a halt to the bout in the eighth round.

* Stripped of the IBU Light Middleweight Title March 31, 2003, for failure to defend.
