David Benavidez, nicknamed “El Monstruo,” enters the ring with an impressive 29-0 record, including 24 knockouts. Having already made a name for himself in the super middleweight division, the Phoenix-born fighter successfully transitioned to light heavyweight, capturing the interim WBC light heavyweight title after a hard-fought unanimous decision win over Oleksandr Gvozdyk. Known for his relentless aggression and knockout power, Benavidez is eager to cement himself as a dominant force in his new weight class.
Facing him is David Morrell Jr., the Cuban southpaw with a record of 11-0 and nine knockouts. Holding the WBA (Regular) light heavyweight title, Morrell has rapidly emerged as one of boxing’s brightest stars. His blend of speed, skill, and power has made him a formidable opponent, and he looks to prove his mettle against Benavidez in what could be the toughest test of his career.
