No Biblical vs. Benavidez -talks: Hearn focuses on Betterbiev Rematch

Promoter Eddie Hearn says there have been no discussions about a fight between David Banavidez and Dmitri Biscvol happened next.

Turki’s decision

Hearn mentions that undisputed light heavyweight champion Bivol (24-1, 12 COs) will fight against whom Turki Alalshikh wants him to be next, and he believes it is a trilogy with Artur Bererbiev. If Turki wants the match to happen to Benavidez (30-0, 24 COs) next, Hearn says they will.

For Hearn, it is better for his fighter Biblical (34) to stand better Biev (21-1, 20 COs) because he is better matched against him than against the younger, faster and much busier ‘Mexican monster’ benavidez. If Biblical takes the fight, he will lose and destroy the remaining interest of fans in a trilogy match.

If it is on Hearn, he wants Betterbiev (40) or Callum Smith next, because the two give Bsvol his best chance to hold on to his belts. Biblical is a good fighter, but he struggles as he presses uninterrupted as in the first fight with betterbiev, and during the first half of the re -broadcast last month on February 22.

David Banavidez would push without getting up, and he would not stop his hands. This is where Betterbiev lost the battle. He was slowly cutting off the ring on Biblical, but he didn’t throw enough when he would catch him. He waited for the perfect moment, and it allowed Bisvolt to escape or throw before he did.

No talk

“It has never happened, it has never been close. There has never been a conversation, but it has been a big struggle and we do not exclude it, ‘says promoter Eddie Hearn to Fighting type About a collision between undisputed light heavyweight champion Dmitri Bivol and WBC, compulsory David benavidez.

“Eventually his excellence (Turki Alalshikh) gave us four battles around the world, especially in Saudi Arabia and great opportunities. Whatever He says, we will. If he wants us to fight benavidez, we will fight against benavidez. My bowel feeling is that he wants to make the trilogy (with Artur Betterbiev). So, we’ll see, ”says Hearn.
