David Benavidez Vows To Beat Beterbiev and Bivol

David Benavidez Vows To Beat Beterbiev and Bivol

After bettering David Morrell in an instant classic tonight in boxing David Benavidez sent out a statement and had strong words after.

Beterbiev and Bivol rematch at light-heavyweight soon but there is also a new star in the division in Benavidez now.

Speaking after his UD points win tonight Benavidez said:

“So he won (Morrell) two rounds? I Don think it deserve a rematch. I feel like we are trying to put us in the number one spot (for big fights). Right now I just want to take a break, I trained really hard.”

He added:

“You guys know me I am willing to fight the best fighters on the table. After I beat Bivol and Beterbiev there is still going to be fighters coming up.”

A quiet steely confidence from Benavidez there.

175 lbs. has a new star launched tonight — as did America and Mexico — with such a titanic battle shown on Amazon Prime tonight.
