President of WBC Mauricio Sulaiman confirmed today that the fleeting champion of 175-pounds David Benavidez is a recent lithe massive belt owner after Dmitry Bivol resigned for the WBC organization.
The offer of bag ordered at WBC was planned for tomorrow a must fight Bivol with Benavidez, but Dmitriry decided to give up the belt so that he could take part in the trilogy match with Artur Beterbiew.
Novel king
Benavidez would prefer to win the title of WBC 175-LB in a classic way, throwing Bivol behind her, but what can he do if he did not want to fight him. He did not intend to just next to him, allowing Bivol to put him on the ice when he fights with Beterbiev again. There would be no guarantee that the winner of the Bivol-Betbyv 3 fight would fight him. They could decide on the fourth fight or tardy down by placing Benavidez where he is now.
Bivol (24-1, 12 KO) apparently would prefer to keep his WBC belt, but WBC forced him to his hand, ordering him to face the “Mexican monster” by Benavidez. Bivol would not be arduous to refrain from a trilogy match with 40 -year -old Artur, but the Saudis wanted the next one.
Why Bivol left
Dmitrira also defended his WBC belt against Benavidez, he would not be a certain victory. If it were a piece of cake, Bivol would probably receive a green lithe to face Benavidez, and then fight the trilogy with Beterbiv (21-1, 20 Kos) after.
There was too much chance that Bivol would lose and be very beaten by Benavidez, which would exhaust the slight boxing interest still see the trilogy.
Given 55K rumors, PPV buys Dazn from US fans in the second fight Beterbiv vs. Bivol 2 22 February, it would be stupid for Dmitri to defend his WBC title against David Benavidez. He would lose the fight and then the trilogy from Beterbaiew it would not be worth dirt.
They could put it on PPV and were lucky to bring 20K Buys Stateside. Fans are tired of this lifeless fight anyway, but they would really have enough if Benavidez sent Bivol to the next galaxy.
Then
We will see who he will face, that Benavidez is the recent WBC heavyweight champion. These are some of the options:
– Callum Smith – David Morrell: *Rematch – Anthony Yarde – Wily Hutchinson – Lyndon Arthur – Edgar Berlanga: *If he decides to pick up
I just received a frosty and impersonal notification of lawyer Dmitry Bioliv, Patrick English, with arguments that are so comical that I do not discuss WBC informing that Dmitryry Bivol decided to give up his lithe WBC championships. We wish you bivol …
Promoter Eddie Hearn is sure that Conor Benn will win by early knockout against medium weight Chris Eubank Jr. in the 12-round headliner on Dazn PPV for 10 days on April 26. Hearn says that Benn (23-0, 14 KO) will win because he is “much better” than Eubank Jr. (34-3, 25 KO) and trains like a beast.
Eubank JR-Benn will fight before a vast crowd at the Tottenham Hotspur stadium in London. Hearn thinks Benn will immediately follow Eubank Jr., wanting to get a quick knockout.
Borders of Benna
28 -year -old Benn will have to raise his game to beat Eubank Jr. because he did not look the same in the last two fights compared to how he performed earlier. In the years 2019–2022 Conor looked like the future world champion. But from the time he returned from his dismissal in 2023, he worked on insignificant victories on Peter Dobson and Rodolfo Orozco. In both fights Benn was forced to a distance.
“Conor trains like an animal in every camp, but this camp is different. In this camp he appeared at the cut,” said Eddie Hearn supervisor Stamping groundWhen discussing his warrior, Conor Benn’s readiness to his match with a pretender to medium weight Chris Eubank Jr. In 10 days April 26 in London. “Do I expect it to win? Of course.”
For Benn to win against Eubank Jr., he will need something more than training like an animal. He will need talent and explosive power that he once had, which has disappeared since 2023. Hearn did not discuss the plan B for Conor’s career if he loses this fight.
Of course, he can return to the welterweight department, but there is no success guarantee. Due to the fact that he fought with Dobson and Orozco, Benn had no chance against the welterweight master Jaron “Boots” Ennis, Brian Norman Jr. and Mario Barrios. If he focuses on Benn that he has received a great day of payment, Hearn can organize a shot in the title of world champion. He would not deserve to fight for the title of world champion if Eubank Jr lost, but this would not stop him from fighting.
“I also know how challenging and hazardous this fight is. He is [Benn] Leaving two weight activities to fight a much larger man, but he is a guy who is much better than, “said Hearn, telling what Conor is against the fight against Eubank in medium weight. “This is reality.” A guy he trains much more than. I think he is a guy he wants much more than. “
Ceiling at the national level
Benn has a built -in excuse if he loses. He may blame this for moving two weight classes to fight a larger, more experienced warrior at the age of 160. His fans will be warm and will not be too much on him. However, if Conor decides to continue to fight the opposition at a low level in 147, he will be concealed and will be perceived as a warrior at the national level, which is ignored by non-Brits.
“I know that Eubank will be ready for this fight. This means a lot to him, but Conor must start this fight quickly and early, and if he does, I believe that he wins this fight through a knockout in six rounds. Eubank was brilliant in accumulation. He is a character.
“He has people who tell him what to say, and I believe that he will be in the form next week. This noise at the Tottenham stadium. It will be epic, and you know how Conor is fighting. He will not come out and he will not feel.
Lithe Abdullah Mason and Keyshawn Davis are the latest Ambassadors of the Ring brand. Fans now hope that Turks Alalshikh will establish a fight between them before Keyshawn (13-0, 9 KO) exceeds the weight class.
#4 WBC I #8 WBO, Mason (18-0, 16 KO) and Keyshawn are promoted according to the highest rank. It would be an uncomplicated fight. Of course, they will separate them to have two separate revenue streams, but now, when they are Ambassadors of the Turki magazine, it would be perfect fights to set up one of his seasonal events in Riyadh.
Who is blinking first?
21-year-old Mason was still not tested against the world opposition during his compact four-year professional career, but none of them has Keyshawn. He avoided Andy Cruza i He didn’t show much ambitions To fight Raymond Muratalla. We know that Keyshawn calls himself a “businessman”, but come on when he takes the risk? Was the fourth loss of Cuban talent, Andy Cruz, worked so badly, where is he afraid to accelerate? This is where Turki must enter and give him an offer that he cannot refuse.
Although Keyshawn was called by Gervont Davis and Vasily Lomachenko, it is rather about the desire to pay, instead of believing that he can beat one of these guys. Turki uses his pull to fight between Mason and Keyshawn, he would be a great fight for the headline of one of his cards in Riyadh. Whoever lost could be adapted to Shakur Stevenson.
For Norfolk, Virginia, Keyshawn, he is more crucial for him before he leaves the division of 135 pounds. He kills, attracting weight to remain lithe, but he can’t do it forever. Davis’s Silver Olympic medalist in 2020 quickly ends in this division and may not be the same success at the age of 140 or 147, because there are no uncomplicated grades to raise the belt.
The ring is cheerful to welcome the WBO Lightweight Keyshawn Davis champion as our brand ambassador. Huge things before this rising star – like best when he is still climbing to the top of this sport. pic.twitter.com/uepxgz7tbvv
We are glad that we can welcome Abdullah Mason as the latest Ambassador of the Ring brand. We are looking forward to his success when he rises in the ranks and builds a legendary career. pic.twitter.com/qgmysb7hsw
