David benavidez started practicing early and trying to get into shape for the title defense of his WBC lights heavyweight belt in 14 weeks, 3 days From now on, on November 22 against Anthony Yarde in the Anb Arena in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
Weight gain to Morrell Victory
Looks like Benavidez (30-0, 24 COs) has recorded some weight around his midsection since his best victory over the career David Morrell Earlier this year on February 1st. So it makes sense that he started practicing early to lose weight.
‘The Mexican Monster’ Benavidez looks a little thinner around his abdomen from a week ago, but you can still see the Elvis Paunch despite the bags of T-shirt he wore during today’s workout. He seems to wear an extra 25 pounds that need to be dumped by the time he faces the heavy muscular site (27-3, 24 COs).
It is surprising how much weight Benavidez was wearing so quickly after his 12-round victory over Morrell. It is possible that He rewarded himself with food to the impressive performance. After all, it was a difficult battle in which Benavidez was dropped and took big punishment on the head and body of the harder hitting Cuban.
Banavidez won the battle, but came out of it like the loser in terms of facial damage. Morrell’s push seemed to have been thrown so effortlessly, yet they rearranged benavidez’s face.
Why this battle is so important
It is important for benavidez to win this battle and look like pure gold because it will be displayed Dazn ppv In Riyadh. Turki Alalshikh is likely to be in the front row and look at Banavidez and decide how he wants to suit him for his next fight.
Former undisputed light heavyweight champion Artur Betterbiev is on the bottom map and is fighting against Deon Nicholson. The possibility exists that if Betterbiev (21-1, 20 COs) and Benavidez both win their fights on November 22, they can meet in a massive battle that would make Artur’s two clashes against Dmitry Biblical look like little time.
