David Banavidez says Turki Alalshikh wanted him to fight in San Francisco landmark Alcatraz, but he said he was not interested in struggling to struggle on the old prison grounds. WBC and WBA ‘ordinary’ light heavyweight champion Banavidez said innovative places that Turki wants to perform his events, such as Alcatraz and Times Square, ‘Take away from the sport.‘
Benavidez reject alcatraz fight
Crowd sizes are limited in such places, and benavidez (30-0, 24 coes) prefer to fight in places where many fans can enjoy his fights, rather than being some. It was one of the criticism of the Times Square event in New York. A small, hand -chosen crowd attended, many of them rich, famous boxers and athletes.
Banavidez will fight against Anthony Yarde and Callum Smith in August or September. He looks more interested in the fight against Callum because he has the WBO-Tuss-entitlement title of 175 pounds. ‘The Mexican Monster’ wants to force the united three belt champion Dmitri Bivol to fight against him. The way to do this is to box him in.
“The thing with Turki is that he keeps saying he wanted me to fight on Alcatraz in June. And I’m like Alcatraz, jail. I’m not really trying to do it, ‘David Benavidez told Pound 4 pounds with cameru and Henry. ‘
The scenery of Alcatraz will be interesting for fans attending television and watching. For people who have not been there, it is beautiful with the water and the view of San Francisco. It would be useful for Benavidez’s career to fight on Alcatraz, because it would bring him a lot of attention.
“The thing I love Turki is that he is really innovative, but also what the sport takes away is when you try to have battles in a certain place, such as Alcatraz and Times Square, now you take away the fans to see it. Who’s going to go? ‘ said benavidez.
The box fans of the Bay Arena in North California will mainly attend the Alcatraz event. Getting to the island is a ferry, but it would be a bigger crowd than the Times Square event.
Prefer traditional arena’s
“I’ll look, but for me as a fighter, I’m not fighting with Alcatraz. There is something about the fights. During the fight week you see that the fans have snapped up, ”Banavidez said when asked if he preferred to fight at venues like the T-Mobile Arena.
Benavidez decided on Alcatraz. He can regret regret that he has rejected this venue, because everyone who is there will receive a lot of attention worldwide. He has a narrow view of it, perhaps to think that it is a prison at one time, but fighting would be a positive for his career.
“You’re going to the fights, and you see the fans go crazy,” Benavidez says. “There’s nothing like that. I am a contemporary fighter. I like to feel the energy of the crowd. If you experience the energy, you hit someone in the face. ‘ Ah. ‘
‘You come into box and you are trying to set up a *** that has been set for years. It’s going to start a little, “Benavidez said about Turki. “With Biblical, I’m not happy to get my title like that. I’d rather win it. ‘
