The undisputed featherlight heavyweight master, Dmitry Bivol and his compulsory opponent WBC David Benavidez, are close to the finalization of the fight agreement this summer on the date and location.
Bivol promoters in Matchroom and Benavidez in the Premier Boxing Champions (PBC) combine the contract, allowing Dmitry to maintain four lanes. Last week, WBC ordered Bivol (24-1, 12 KO) to start negotiations with Benavidez (30-0, 24 KO), with the date of April 8 at the end of the talks.

“Attention !!! PBC and Matchroom are very close to finalizing the contract for Bivol and David Benavidez to face this summer – said Juliusjulianis X.
Fans want to see how Benavidez got his shot in four lanes in a featherlight hefty weight, because he won it thanks to the victory over David Morrell last month. What’s more, interest in the third struggle between Bivol and Artur Beterbiev will fall after their previous two were more chess than entertainment fights.
This is where Benavidez enters. His specialty is the fight, slowing her opponents in action without interruption, and it is the fans from the USA and around the world. It has a style that people like to watch in the contemporary era.
Winner Bivol vs. Benavidez Fight can face the former champion of four stripes Artur Beterbal or, if he feels brave, Canelo Alvarez. Of these two, Alvarez probably only fights with Bivol, because he is not someone he would have to worry about knocking out.
Turki Alalshikh has no word about whether he will try to press Bivol to fight the trilogy with Artur Beterbiemar. It is believed that Turki wants this fight, and some believe that he is not convinced that Bivol can defeat Benavidez. Bivol has a better chance of defeating a 40-year-old Beterbavera than a “Mexican monster.”
The punishment that Artur Beterbiev set off in the twelfth round against Bivol last month in the rematch of February 22, would be so in every round against Benavidez. Bivol would featherlight, forcing him to stay in motion and try every trick in the book to survive.
If Turki decides that he does not want Bivol to fight Benavidez, this will not happen. I don’t know why he would like this match to fall, because the chances are high, that Bivol will lose. He will not get a rematch from Canelo, who will not survive Benavidez and is deprived of the belt.
