Wilfred Benitez

Wilfred "Wilfredo" Benítez (born September 12, 1958) is an American-born Puerto Rican former professional boxer and the fifth king of the ‘Four Kings’ era, used a fake ID to turn pro, and was younger than Mike Tyson when he became a world champion! He became the youngest world champion in the sport's history. Earning his first of three career world titles in separate weight divisions at the age of seventeen, he is best remembered as a skilled and aggressive fighter with exceptional defensive abilities. We present the story of "El Radar" and how early introduction to boxing on the grounds of PS 124 would forge the skills that would develop the young Benitez into one of boxing's legendary fighters.
