David Benavidez is set to face David Morrell in a significant boxing match, marking Benavidez's first fight in the light heavyweight division. Both fighters hold titles, with Benavidez being the WBC interim champion and Morrell the WBA champion. Benavidez, previously advocating for a match against Canelo Alvarez, moved up in weight for greater opportunities. Morrell aims to defend his title successfully while viewing Benavidez as a formidable opponent. Personal stakes and past injuries create an intense buildup to what could be an explosive fight.
"I'm excited to really showcase my skills in this fight. I had a lot of injuries and adversity going into the [Gvozdyk] fight, but I went in there against one of the best in the world and showed I have a lot of heart."
"Benavidez is considered one of the most dangerous fighters in boxing, so when I beat him, everyone will see what I'm capable of. People call him 'The Mexican Monster', but I'm not scared of monsters -- I hunt them down."
