Promoter Sampson Lewkowicz says that David Benavidez will fight for the full title of WBC Lightweight Heavyweight in September, probably against Callum Smith, after releasing the belt or deprived of the current master Dmitri Bivol.

Give up!

Lewkowcz stated that he wanted Bivol to restore the title of WBC and give it back on Monday because he does not intend to defend him against Benavidez. This will not be threatened when Bivol faces Artur Beterbav in the trilogy match.

WBC has already ordered Bivol to start negotiations with the mandatory Benavidez (30-0, 24 KO) and have until April 8 to connect the contract before the offer of the handbag. However, Lewkowcz does not see it because of the Bivol-Betiview trilogy match, which is located at the planning stages.

There is no chance The fact that Bivol risks the fight of “Mexican Monster” Benavidez because he probably lost and would be non -flashed in a trilogy match with Artur Beterbal. The fight would still be interested in fans, but much less because of Bivol took a loss with Benavidez and did not hold the titles.

Risk factor

If Benavidez were an straightforward sign, Bivol would fight him in a second, because it is a fight that would cause much more interest in fans around the world than a tired trilogy match. But Dmitry and his management know that Benavidez is irate for them and quickly solves his impact style. This approach worked on 40-year-old Artur Beterbalwal because he is elderly and snail-paced. This would not be effective against Benavidez, who is juvenile at the age of 28, cut off the ring quickly and well.

“He won’t fight [in a title defense of his interim belt]. It will have to be a full WBC title. If Bivol does not fight, I recommended that he give up [vacate] Title before April 8, “said Sampson Lewkowicz Fight Hub tv About his insistence that the WBC Lightweight Heavyweight champion Dmitry Bivol defended against his mandatory David Benavidez, and then left the belt.

It is not clear why the Bivol promotional team pulls him out because Benavidez will not change the opinion that he wants to have the title shot in WBC. If they think that they change their minds, they are joking because it won’t happen. Bivol may as well leave the belt now so that they can start promoting the trilogy with Beterbiev based on the fact that this is not the undisputed lightweight championship.

“It won’t happen,” said Sampson about the fight between Bivol and Benavidez. “If he [Bivol] I don’t want to fight on Monday, restore the belt. A guy who brings money to this place [the Saudis]I don’t want it [Bivol-Benavidez]”Said Lewkowicz.

It will not be the end of the world, so that Bivol can go to the trilogy match with Beterbawał with three lanes, not four. The fight will continue to have a value for fans who like to watch how two aging 175-pounds fight in the next chess match.

Boxing fans are tired seeing Bivol and Beterbaiew, because none of their two fights were entertaining. According to American standards, their fights were tedious. People from outside the country may like tactical fights that look like amateur competitions, but fans do not like this style.

Smith next?

“It can be [Callum] Blacksmith [that Benavidez fights next]But there are many others. He will fight for a full title in September – said Lewkowcz. “If he [Bivol] He wants to go to a handbag offer, we are well prepared for PBC. America wants his own blood to fight [for a light heavyweight title]And the blood is David Benavidez. This is the best fight.

“We’ve seen twice in the same fight [Bivol vs. Artur Beterbiev]. Less than 50,000 people saw this fight [on DAZN PPV in their rematch on February 22nd]. This is a good fight for us [hardcore fans] This love box, but they don’t care for ordinary people. I would never reach Saudi Arabia because I love this screams. “
