But he wants to go much further than that, however, and this is a lofty goal from Benavidez:

David Benavidez tells The Ring’s Mike Coppinger that he wants to establish himself as the best light-heavyweight in the world, as he defends his WBC world title against Anthony Yarde at The Ring IV.

Artur Beterbiev and Dmitry Bivol will both have something to say about that of course.

Both are probably rated ahead of Benavidez at this point and are due to have a trilogy fight shortly.

Benavidez is expanding his brand all the time though, a classic fighter and puncher at light-heavyweight.

Anthony Yarde next up for Benavidez will be no easy fight mind you.
