The boxing icon, Mike Tyson, called David Benavidez as the only man he would like to fight. The 59-year-old legend even baptized Benavidez with her nickname “Mexican monster” after consuming the 28-year-old. Benavidez has a record as the youngest world champion in a super average in history, and Tyson has recently had an eye on an undefeated star.
When asked by Esnews Last year, as Benavidez fights with contemporary, Tyson supported the heavyweight master WBA and WBC to go out to all pretenders. “I like him against everything,” said Tyson. “He is so underestimated, but here so polarized. Listen, I was afraid to fight him if I was in this division. Nobody even has a chance against him and I say the facts. “
While Tyson clearly liked the star born in America against every opponent, Tyson may be necessary to wait longer for Benavidez to enter the current unified master of 168 pounds Saul “Canelo” Alvarez. Although Benavidez was a mandatory claimant for Alvarez during the year, the clash never materialized. Since then, it was reported that Benavidez was tired of waiting for his chance for a 34-year icon.
Benavidez was promoted to massive weight and impressive victories against Oleksandr Gvozdyk and David Morrell in June and October last year, made him a mandatory contender for WBC and WBA for the undisputed master Dmitri Bivol.
It was reported that Benavidez was in advanced conversations to make Bivol fight, but the conversations apparently failed from the ground. However, if Bivol decides to trilogy with Artur Beterbav, Benavidez can try to fight Great Britain Callum Smith.
Since February 2025, Benavidez has been occupying the world title World Boxing Association (WBA) (ordinary version), and from 2024 it currently has a record of 30 wins and without losses, and 24 was approaching knockout.
Meanwhile, “iron” Mike will fall as one of the most arduous massive weight of all time. He won the WBC title at the age of only 20, when he defeated Trevor Berbick through Nokaut in the second round to become the youngest heavyweight champion in history – a record that still stands to this day.
However, his recent defeat with the YouTube star, Jake Paul, somewhat initiated calls for his concern. The Tyson’s fight was shown live in Netflix and became the most streaming sporting event in history because he fought with a man who is over 30 years younger than him. However, some stars of this sport shared their worries, because after once the undisputed world champion in heavyweight looked like the shadow of his former self.
San Diego (May 10, 2025) – “El Vaquero” returned to Sunchang Arena San Diego, trying to win his fans. The victory won, simply the way he imagined it.
Emanuel Navarrete He kept his lightweight WBO Junior World on Saturday evening with a technical decision from the eighth round over the Filipino claimant Charly Suarez. The fight was suspended early due to the cut -off of the left eye of Navarrete, which was ruled by judge Edward Collantes, was caused by an accidental head title.
Navarrete (40-2-1, 32 KO) came out shooting, firing wild right hands and jumping left hooks that bloodied the nose of Suarez in the opening round. Suarez (18-1, 10 Kos), Olympian 2016, found moments of success, sometimes landing on Navarrete’s head, and sometimes only on his gloves.
In the sixth, Navarrete suffered a cut, and they both still traded with ponderous shots in seventh place, when Mexico began to bleed abundantly. The ring doctor waved him just after Bell sounded to start the eighth round.
Navarrete won the results of 77-76 2x and 78-75.
“This is the spirit of a warrior to be a Mexico who helped us today,” said Navarrete. “I felt good, I felt mighty, I felt complete. Unfortunately, what happened with my head, of course that it ended. But when we fought, I felt good.
“From the first moment I knew it was the title of the head. He completely divided the eyebrows and from the first moment I noticed that it was the title of the head.”
Suarez said: “I’m sorrowful at the moment, but it’s part of the game and I know that Navarrete won the fight, but it’s part of the game. I would like to make a rematch. I want a rematch with Navarrete.”
“This is a fight I have wanted for years and I would like to share a ring with this man.
“And then we could throw [Billy Joe] Saunders at its end. “
Turks Alalshikhwhose magazine Ring introduced the fight Eubank Jr vs Benn, said before the fight that the winner would be in the queue for the clash with Canelo.
The Mexican Supergivid concluded four fights with Alalshikh in February, starting with a unilateral victory over William Scull in Riyjad at the beginning of this month to become a superpocaranie champion.
Canelo will face Crawford on September 12 in Las Vegas
Alvarez will now defend his belts against Crawford on September 12 at the Allegiant stadium in Las Vegas.
Saunders was involved in an argument with the Eubank JR team on the night of a fight after he was refused to enter the wardrobe to check manual packaging.
The 35-year-old has not fought since the defeat with Alvarez in May 2021, but said that he was going to return to the ring in September last week.
And Eubank Jr insists that bad blood remains with the Saunders, who defeated him with a divided decision in 2014.
Despite the oath of retired, many expect that the former two -time world champion in hefty weight will reverse his decision, but his father, John Fury, insists that he has a better shape if he has a return.
“He has to spend time on his body structure,” said Fury Seconds.
“I need 12 months on the figure to get some muscles on his frame.
“What failed him was his physical condition.
“Its lack of muscles. Its lack of body strength and lack of power, because they do not utilize muscles and do not work on the muscles you need at this level.
“If you fight at the undisputed world level, you need to train like absolute titanium, and if you are not going to do it, stay retired.

“The result will be the same.
“He has a lot of left in the tank.
“This man could come back and get this belt three times, but not with the crowd around him.”
John was in the corner of his son with a steward and Andy Lee at his first clash from Usyk in May last year, and “The Gypsy King” suffered from a divided decision -making failure.
The 59-year-old was not present for the rematch, but he thinks that the steward is not the right man to train his son.
“He listened to people who have no experience in battle,” he added.
“And at the end of the day, if there was such a good coach, Sugarhill, his uncle Emanuel would leave him the highest job, right?
“He would leave him a full case, Johnathan Banks finished it. Why did Tommy Hearns not have Sugarhill? Why didn’t Lenox Lewis have him?
“Why didn’t all other Kronk warriors have him? There is a reason.
“Why do all these British fighters have and release him?
“Because he is unable and I am the first to say it.
“I have nothing against this man, I’m only talking about boxing conditions.
“The man is a very nice man, he never hurt me in any shape or form.”
If the Fury returned, he could direct the winner of the rematch of July 19 between Uyk and Daniel Dubois or a long -awaited meeting with Anthony Joshua.
