David Benavidez is set to make his return to the ring on December 14th, in a bout that will be available on Amazon Prime Video PPV. The purpose of this fight, according to his promoter Sampson Lewkowic, is to prepare Benavidez for a potential challenge against the winner of the upcoming undisputed fight between Dmitry Bivol and Artur Beterbiev on October 12th. Despite not having an opponent finalized yet for December 14th, the focus is on ensuring that Benavidez is ready to face the best in the future.
There is no doubt that Benavidez will need to face a formidable opponent in order to prove that he is deserving of a shot at a world title in the light heavyweight division. The Crypto arena has been reserved for the December 14th fight, but there is also the possibility of hosting the event in Las Vegas. The opponent chosen for Benavidez must challenge him and help him grow as a fighter in preparation for a potential title shot.
In his last fight at 175 pounds, Benavidez faced some criticism for his performance against Oleksandr Gvozdyk. Many felt that he did not showcase the power and stamina needed to compete at the elite level in the division. Benavidez himself attributed his lackluster showing to injuries, but he will need to prove his capabilities in the upcoming fight to silence the doubters.
One matchup that fans are eager to see is Benavidez taking on David Morrell, the newly crowned WBA ‘regular’ light heavyweight champion. This would be a risky fight for Benavidez, as a loss could potentially derail his future plans of facing the Beterbiev-Bivol winner. However, facing Morrell would demonstrate Benavidez’s confidence in his abilities and willingness to take on tough challenges in the pursuit of greatness.
With the stage set for David Benavidez to make his return to the ring on December 14th, boxing fans are eagerly anticipating his performance. A matchup against David Morrell would be a thrilling showdown between two rising stars in the light heavyweight division, with both fighters looking to prove themselves on the big stage. As Benavidez aims to solidify his position as a top contender in the division, all eyes will be on him come fight night.
