A Bivol vs Benavidez weight has been put forward for a possible fight between the two and it would surely benefit Benavidez.
David Benavidez is the man coming into a possible fight in the big form.
Fresh off a brutal knockout at the weekend over Gilberto Ramirez might make Benavidez the A-Side in the talks.
Bivol is the champion at light-heavyweight however.
Benavidez has said he’d be interested in the fight with Dmitry Bivol at 190 pounds. Keep in mind Bivol competes at 175 pounds at the light-heavyweight division so this benefits Benavidez hugely.
If the fight happened there.
