Author name
Though she be small, she be mighty. Daisy Delgado enters the
ring for her pro debut Saturday, October 21, at Green River Center in Auburn,
WA. Delgado is a petite and attractive woman who is full of fight. She is also a
fitness expert and nutritionist.
Delgado manages the Benavidez Boxing Gym in Burien where she
holds fitness classes and trains with some of the finest pro trainers including
her husband Jose Benavidez.
Her fitness and nutritional advice are excellent as proven
by two-time super middleweight champion David Benavidez. When David wanted to
turn pro he weighed over 280 pounds. Delgado brought him down to 165 where he
has remained for his fights.
Delgado, an honor student in high school, studied to become
a dental assistant but quickly realized she wanted to devote her life to
something more physical. She studied nutrition and physical fitness. She soon
combined that with boxing. She feels that boxing gives one of the best overall
workouts available. Every part of the body is put to good use.
During her time in the business she has also entered beauty
contests and came in second in one of California’s most prestigious swimsuit
competitions. She also sells a line of clothing. She so believes in boxing for
fitness that she has her daughter, Princess, learning the sport.
Also on the card are Jacob Martin, Francisco Reyes, Carlos
Villanueva, Julio Hernandez, Evian Rodriguez, undefeated James Browning, and
the return of Jahelel Brito Carilo. Other boxers round out the nine card event.
