Promotor Eddie Hearn says there was no debate on the fight between David Benavidez and Dmitry Bivol that happens next.
Turks’ decision
Hearn states that an indisputable champion in the lightweight category of Bivol (24-1, 12 ko) will fight against anyone who wants him to Alalshikh the following, and believes it is a trilogy with Arthur Beterbiev. If the Turks want the match with Benavides (30-0, 24 ko) to happen next, Hearn says they will do it.
For Hear, it is better for his combat buffalo, 34, to face Beterbie’s (21-1, 20 ko), because he better coincides with him than he is against the younger, faster and much busy ‘Mexican monster’ Benavidez. If the buffalo leads that fight, it will lose, destroying most of the remaining interest, from fans in the trilogy.
If he is on Hearn, he will want to be Beterbieva, 40 or Callum Smith next, because the two give the buffalo their best chance to hold on to the belts. The buffalo is a good fighter, but he struggles when he pressed non -stop as in the first fight with Beterbiev, and during the first half of the rematch last month on February 2nd.
David Benavidez would press without yielding, and he would not stay from playing his hands. Here Beterbiev lost the fight. He slowly cut off the ring on the buffalo, but he didn’t throw enough when he captured him. He was waiting for the perfect moment, and this often made it possible for a buffalo to escape or throw away before he did.
There is no conversation
“That never happened, it was never close. There was never a conversation, but it’s a great fight and we don’t exclude it,” said Promotor Eddie Hearn Fix About the conflict between the undisputed champion in the difficult heavyweight category Dmitry Bivol and WBC of the Mandatory David Benavidez.
“Ultimately, its excellency [Turki Alalshikh] He gave us four fights around the world, especially in Saudi Arabia and great opportunities. Whatever he says, we will do. If we want us to fight Benavidez, we will fight Benavides. The feeling of my gut is to want to make a trilogy [with Artur Beterbiev]. So, we’ll see, “Hearn said.
