The idea of Turki Alalshikh to share David Banavidez and former undisputed light heavyweight champion Artur Betterur Betterbiev on November 22 on November 22 in Riyadh appears to be to suit each other in early 2026.
Riyadh’s benavidez vs Betterbiev setup
- David benavidez vs. Anthony Yarde
- Artur Bererbiev vs. Deon Nicholson
WBC 175-pound champion Banavidez (30-0, 24 food) against Betterbiev (21-1, 20 COs) would be an exciting battle that would attract a lot of interest from fans worldwide. It is understandable why Turki first wants to create interest in the collision by sharing them the same card on November 22 on Dazn PPV. It enables people to see how they are fighting against other opposition contrary to the level.
BIVOL’s future payday decision
Betterbiev wanted the trilogy battle with Dmitri Bivolol, but the fight will only take place until the second half of 2026. It is believed that IBF, WBA and WBO 175-Pond Champion Biblical awaits the winner of the September 13 match between the fight Canelo Alvarez and Terence crawford To see whoever emerges as the victor.
It is a bigger payday for Biblical (24-1, 12 COs) to oppose the Canelo-Crawford winner, and to adopt him much easier on him than a healthy better biev (21-1, 20 COs) in a trilogy. In February last year, Biblical struck in his re -broadcast with Artur. It was Artur that came from the knee surgery, nowhere near what it was in the first fight.
Benavidez’s tune-up vs yarde
‘The Mexican Monster’ Benavidez’s fight against the highly arranged contender at 175 pounds (27-3, 24 coes) is not called a tune-up, but it is essentially. Yarde, 33, is nowhere close to the same level of talent as benavidez, and he is a huge run -off in the competition of his previous battle against David Morrell last February.
Although Benavidez may not want to admit it, it was a difficult battle against the Cuban Morrell, because he sustained a lot of punishment from the harder puncher. Going 12 hard rounds against Morrell was a nightmare for benavidez. His face after the fight looked like the loser, not the winner. Morrell devised a career’s punishment on benavidez in that battle. It will be easy to stand up against Yarde.
