Roberto Benitez returns to the Ring.
But he never left Boxing ! ! !

Roberto broke his hand on his last opponent Vineash Rungea, early in a fight that took place in White Plains, New York. That was in October 2006, more than 2 ½ years ago. Benitez went on to win the fight, but the pain in his hand remained until this past Christmas.

Benitez who has been boxing since he was 10 years old has always dreamed he would be Champion of the World. When the hand refused to heal, and the pain didn’t go away, the dream remained.

After more than a year of rehabilitation and therapy, along with visits to Doctors all over the country, Roberto reveled his soul.

He said “Don’t worry God has a plan and it’s going to be alright, because I intend to box till I am 40, my hand will heal by then ! ! !
I'll keep myself in top physical condition so that when it does heal, I’ll be ready.” A great attitude speaks !

Members of Team Benitez have witnessed an athletic feat as Roberto maintained his fitness since the day his hand was broken. This past Christmas as an answer to many prayers Roberto noticed that the pain was gone.

[More:]

On the first of January 2009 Roberto hit a heavy bag for the first time without pain. Later that same month Team Benitez notified Star Boxing who promotes Roberto that he would soon be looking to Box again. In March Benitez took part in sparring for the first time in more than 2 ½ years. No ring rust to be found on him. Team Benitez announced that Roberto would be ready in May, and asked Star Boxing to find Benitez a fight.

While waiting for a return to the ring Team Benitez got a call from Don King’s office. They were looking for someone to push Elio Rojas in sparring. Elio was entering preparations to challenge for Takahiro Auo’s W.B.C. Featherweight Title. Benitez was just what Rojas needed, as the action was hot and heavy, one sparring session after another, for three weeks.

It was a pleasure for Team Benitez to help prepare Elio Rojas for his opportunity, as he will fight tonight July 14th in Tokyo Japan. We know Rojas is ready, and he will give a great performance, hopefully Elio will win the Crown.

Meanwhile Randall Wilds of Team Benitez has been talking with Joe DeGuardia the President of Star Boxing about a possible date for Roberto Benitez’s return to the ring. According to Joe, a date in the next few weeks is possible, as Star Boxing has been presenting shows just about as often as any promoter in the game.

For the fans that have been so loyal in waiting, thanks for your support. Roberto wants you to know that he has never left Boxing, and he plans on having a long career, if God be willing.

And for all Super Bantamweights a message from Roberto Benitez
“I want to fight anyone in the division"
"call my promoter to set up a match".
