Benitez had won the title earlier in the year, becoming a 2-division champion at only 21 years old, whilst Leonard had won all 27 of his fights after turning pro following an Olympic gold medal in 1976 and had emerged as a top contender for the welterweight title and one of boxing's most popular fighters. In addition to the Benitez–Leonard bout, the card in also featured Vito Antuofermo defending his undisputed middleweight title against Marvin Hagler and a WBA light heavyweight title fight between Victor Galindez and Marvin Johnson[1] • Benítez's father and trainer Gregorio would write an article for The Ring magazine titled Why Benitez Will Lose His Title in which he claimed his son was not training hard enough for the fight and stating that he wouldn't work his son's corner Even if they gave me $200,000. Gregorio would later admit that he had wrote the article to motivate his son for the fight.[2] • Benitez was scheduled to earn $1.2 million while Leonard would net $1 million, making their fight the richest non-heavyweight bout in boxing history at the time.[3]
