David Benavidez and David Morrell do battle for the opportunity to face the winner of the undisputed rematch between Artur Beterbiev and Dmitry Bivol later this month.
This PBC light heavyweight clash from the T-Mobile Arena, Las Vegas and live on Amazon Prime PPV has all the potential to be an early fight of the year contender, with both men known for inflicting serious damage and producing statement stoppages.
Benavidez brings the WBC Interim belt to the table and puts it on the line against Morrell’s WBA Regular title. Whilst ‘The Mexican Monster’ steps through the ropes a favourite, Cuba’s Morrell has the power to flip the script.
