Why Bivol Isn\u2019t Entertaining It<\/p>\n
See what I mean. Benavidez\u2019s behavior is a textbook example of a spoiled fighter, having a tantrum over Bivol not giving him the fight he wants. It doesn\u2019t matter that Bivol is coming off back surgery and is already planning to fight a trilogy match against Beterbiev. Benavidez wants his fight.<\/p>\n
The Spoiled-Fighter Routine<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s been evident that I\u2019ve wanted to take the biggest fights, but they haven\u2019t been happening. Not on my end, but on the other end of the other fighters,\u201d said Benavidez.<\/p>\n
After last night\u2019s victory over Yarde, \u2018The Mexican Monster\u2019 Benavidez revealed the news of him challenging Zurdo Ramirez next on May 2, 2026. That fight is expected to take place at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.<\/p>\n
\u201cI have an opportunity to go up to fight at cruiserweight for two titles [WBA and WBO against Gilberto Ramirez], and I said, \u2018Let\u2019s get it,’\u201d said David Benavidez at the post-fight press conference<\/a> last night after his win over Anthony Yarde. \u201cSo, we\u2019re going to go up there and fight Zurdo Ramirez on May 2nd.\u201d<\/p>\n Ken Woods has been a senior writer at Boxing News 24 since 2013, covering the sport from every angle.
