Turki Alalshikh’s vision: David Benavidez against Artur Betterbiev, Dmitri Biscol and Jai Opetaia Fights

Turki Alalshikh said he wants “One day” Match David Benavidez against Artur Betterbiev, Dmitri Biscol and Jai Opetaia. The remark of ‘One Day’ by Turki was not exactly motivating, as Biblical and Betterbiev are both outdated fighters with a short time before retiring.

The aging problem in box’s elite

A better battle for ‘The Mexican Monster’ benavidez would be against the IBF Cruiserweight Champion Jai Opetaia. He is much younger than betterbiev and Biblical. Other than them, Opetaia still has the hunger because he have not yet the super -rich class.

He would be open to Benavidez, and Turki does not have to deal with the difficult task of negotiating to get him on board. They are part of the small group of fighters who are Nouveau Riche, and give them the freedom to be picky about their opponents. It is probably too much to ask betterbiev and Biblical to stand out their necks by facing a young lion like benavidez.

Biblical has already evacuated his WBC title when the Sanksieliekaam ordered him to defend it against Benavidez (30-0, 24 COs). The perception is that Biblical is not interested in tangling with the much younger 28-year-old benavidez. His high -pressure style is all wrong for him.

Biblical will turn 35 in December, and he was not impressive in his dubious victory over the 40-year-old Betterbiev in February last year. Despite returning to the recent knee operation in 2024, better Biev in the 12th round was severely injured and stopped close to. It was the only round in the fight in which Artur applied maximum pressure, and folded Biblical.

One day ”or never? Benavidez await

‘One day (David) I want to see benavidez against Artur (Betterbiev) or (Dmitri) Biblical and maybe also (Jai) Opetaia. One of these three. (Anthony) Yarde will have a chance, “Turki Alalshikh tells the Ring Magazine channel About his vision for WBC light heavyweight champion David benavidez.
