Coach Jose Benavidez sr. He says that his son, David Benavidez, can do 168 to challenge Terenka Crawford for his unquestioned medium weight.
Jose Sr. He states that Benavidez’s “Mexican monster” (30-0, 24 KO) must be defended by the title of his featherlight heavyweight WBC belt with Anthony Yarde. Then they would be ready to train, go to 168 to Crawford Super Fight.
Victim worth making
Benavidez will sacrifice to go down to 168, so that he can take part in a mega fight against Crawford. It would be a huge fight, potentially greater than the clash of Canelo-Crawford, taking into account that Crawford’s popularity increased after his victory over Canelo.
Many Mexican fans of Alvarez would be ecstatic to check whether Benavidez can take revenge on his behalf against Crawford. They would see it in this way and will be strengthened to watch how Benavidez Battle Bud for redemption.
“He proved. So why not? If he is him [Turki Alalshikh] we want to do this fight [Anthony Yarde]- said Jose Benavidez Sr. Millcity boxing About his interest in the clash of the “Mexican monster” David Benavidez and Terenka Crawford.
“If Turks Alalshikh wants this fight, if people want to see this fight, we will do something in our training camp to make it happen,” said Jose Sr. that he wants to fight Benavidez vs. Crawford.
Strategic tip of Alalshikha
Turki’s post on X last Saturday evening, asking if David Benavidez could still do 168, was a massive indication that he was interested in establishing another superfight with the participation of Crawford.
Alalshikha’s investigation time, immediately after Crawford’s nervousness by Canelo Alvarez, can mean only one thing. He wants to match Benavidez against the next Crawford. It would not make sense if Turki published that if he hoped to make Canelo vs. Benavidez, because he was just beaten.
“Yes, I don’t think David had a problem with making 168. Everything is possible, especially the fight for all these belts [undisputed at super middleweight]-said Jose Sr. About his son, Benavidez, being able to achieve the 168-Funt limit to challenge Crawford for his undisputed championship.
Financial lure Crawford
With a purse that Benavidez will fight Crawford, it would be worth doing everything in his power to flow to 168 to take place a colossal duel. Until now, Crawford has shown resistance to fighting Benavidez, but I believe that Turks can convince him to fight if he makes him financially.
Crawford will not realistically earn the same type of money, fighting with any of the great average average competition or masters aged 160. The hereditary fight with Benavidez will probably pay Crawford better than if he fought with the featherlight hefty weight of Dmitry Bivol or Artur Beterbiv. He did not mention the desire to fight with any of them, but these would be attacks that would interest fans in a huge number.

Tim Tszyu seeks to become Australia’s third multi-divisional boxing world champion when he competes for Erislandy Lara’s WBA middleweight title next month, and ahead of the action, trainer Robert Garcia has offered his thoughts on the fight.
Tszyu lost his WBO super-welterweight title in a defeat to Sebastian Fundora back in 2024 and twice failed to reclaim 154lb honours, both against Bakhram Murtazaliev and in a rematch with Fundora.
Since then, the Aussie has stepped up to middleweight and scored a career-best win over Errol Spence Jr earlier this yearand now, the 32-year-old could join lead trainer Jeff Fenech and Liam Paro as his nation’s third two-weight world champion, if he can trump 43-year-old.
Speaking with ProBox TVRobert Garcia, who trains a potential future Tszyu opponent in Vergil Ortiz, admitted that he is leaning towards the home fighter, but noted that Lara will not be phased by competing in the challenger’s backyard.
“We can probably lean towards Tim Tsyzu because he is fighting at home, in front of his hometown, but Lara is not the fighter that brings in a lot of fans following him.
“He doesn’t have a following, he is not one that is going to sell out arenas, so even if it is in the United States, it is likely that most of the people are going to be [there] for Tim Tszyu because Australians do travel and Tim Tszyu has a lot of fans.
“For Lara, going to Australia is like going to Las Vegas or going to New York because he never has that following anyways. Anywhere he goes, he is going to be against the crowd. So, I think for him it is going to be one of those performances where it doesn’t make a difference if he is going to Tim Tsyzu’s hometown.”
Tszyu-Lara takes place at the Cbus Super Stadium in Queensland, Australia on Sunday 13 December.
Deontay Wilder’s former head coach Malik Scott has delivered a knockout prediction for the American’s upcoming showdown with Jai Opetaia.
The pair will square off at Cardiff’s Principality Stadium on December 11, with Opetaia making his heavyweight debut on the undercard of Tyson Fury vs Anthony Joshua.
Despite him being the naturally smaller man, many are favouring the Australian – a former two-time world cruiserweight champion – to defeat his 10-years-older opponent.
It is, after all, generally accepted that Wilder has declined significantly since his trilogy bout with Furywho survived two knockdowns and scored an 11th-round knockout in their 2021 encounter.
Back then, Wilder had just joined forces with Scott, his former opponent, and the pair maintained their fighter-trainer relationship through subsequent defeats against Joseph Parker and Zhilei Zhang.
With Wilder now operating under different coaches, though, Scott has shared a balanced view of the Opetaia fight with Seconds Out.
“The fight’s got dynamite written all over it. Jai Opetaia is very dangerous, but he’s a smaller man that’s been hurt by smaller men than Deontay, slower men than Deontay.
“I’ve never seen Opetaia get hit by nobody like Deontay; I’ve seen Deontay get hit by bigger punchers than Opetaia. [But] one thing we can expect in this fight is a knockout.
“The name of the fight is ‘bad intentions’ – at least that’s what I’m calling it, because that’s what they share in common. What they share in common is mentality – they both are trying to hurt you.”
While he stopped short of predicting a winner, it is perhaps telling that Scott, despite his relationship with Wilder, has not explicitly favoured him to win by knockout.
