Russian lightweight contender Denis Shafikov is ready to campaign in the United States after his recent signing with Top Rank. The 28-year-old southpaw's first fight of the new deal will mark his American debut when he takes on Santos Benavides (23-3-2, 17 KOs) of Nicaragua in a scheduled 10-round bout on Aug. 17 in Laredo, Texas. The bout is on the untelevised undercard of the show headlined by former lightweight titlist Juan Diaz facing Adailton De Jesus.
