Will the Dodge Benavidez buffalo? Stevenson says it’s a big fight but the promoters can block it

Shakur Stevenson believes that the fight between the undisputed champion in the lightweight category Dmitry Bivol and the mandatory WBA David Benavidez is now one of the “biggest fights” that can be created in boxing.

When the buffalo (24-1, 12 ko) on Saturday night, Arthur Beterbiev, with a decision of the majority in 12 circles, inherited his WBC Benavidez (30-0, 24 ko), which is a lot of problems with the exit of blows, power, beard, young people and fearlessness.

“Benavidez vs. Bivol is up with the best fights that can be conducted in boxing sports,” said Shakur Stevenson Ring Magazine About the struggle that he feels is one of the best right now.

Buffalo options

It is no surprise that Bigro’s promoters in Matchroom focus on other fights for him, and it is possible that if the World Boxing Council is trying to force his hand, the belt will be thrown. In this way, the buffalo can continue easier fighting that will pay off well.

Turks Alalshikh will decide who he faces with Bivol, but the promoter Eddie Hearn has a lot of influence on him because of their friendship. If Hearn decides forever to skip Benavidez, he can do so by sacrificing the WBC belt or ignoring him.

WBC allowed the popular fighters to hold the years for their belts without ordering them to defend the belt. The buffalo is popular enough to bypass its mandatory WBC and fight against whoever wished, whether it is Beterbiev, Canelo Alvarez or Callum Smith. These are the big three recently mentioned by Hearn as fighters to be interested in a buffalo fight.

What makes Benavidez even less likely to get the opportunity to fight buffalo is his past success that pair him. In an interview, he discovered that he had been lit by a 20 shooting burst and approached the descent. Benavidez says he was told then that he would no longer be allowed to pair a buffalo.
