Comments Thread For: Dmitry Bivol vacates WBC belt, David Benavidez to become full titleholder

[Malvado]

Buatsi, Yarde, Callum, Whittaker all good fights to me. Winner of Bivol and Beter still in play. Rematch with Morrell in a few years. Path looks great for Benevidez!!

Considering he doesn't get a mandatory until 6 months later, think the most likely opponent for Benavidez is Callum Smith even if he is not ranked under WBC rankings. At least based on what he said on a recent interview.

There is also Albert Ramirez who is top 3 and has a nice streak going on for him, a undefeated southpaw KO artist. A step down from Morrell, but solid fight. Either way he get another training camp to acclimate/adjust in the division further.


Would had prefered Benavidez vs Bivol over the trilogy, but at least David is in a better position now to get top fights like a unification against Bivol or being able to entice Alvarez to finally fight the guy. Hope the fight materializes against Bivol in 2026, just hope both fighters have a solid year, with Bivol fighting Beterviev X2 and Benavidez fighting two credible opponents.

Would be neat if David Benavidez had a Arizona homecoming fight. Put Jesus Ramos on the undercard.

This is the best boxing news ive heard in year’s. Unfortunately I have a feeling that if Bivol wins the trilogy he’ll be looking for an Alvarez rematch. Unless Alvarez TELLS Bivol to go fight Benavidez and get that other strap. Which would lead to my next best news. Either way Benavidez gets to unify which lead’s to my next best news . Alvarez may just fineally fight Benavidez @ 175 . I can only Dream because all fan’s can do Today.

Wow LHW is such a weak division outside Bivol and Beterbiev.

Amazing that you can be considered p4p in a division like that. Same with Usyk at Cruiserweight. But somehow Jermell couldnt crack the list when he because undisputed at 154 all by KO.

Didn't watch the WBSS, huh?

Since Dimitry Bivol is WHITE they won’t say he ducked Benavidez. He will get a pass

And here we go ….. meanwhile the Ginger-haired white guy from Gualadajara … never mind.

That's why I don't think Bivol ever fights David. He will go after Canelo at 168 or Zurdo at Cruiser. Bivol can still fight Benavidez after Beterbiev, so if he does not we will know why..

You're the Oracle, you're supposed to already know what happens & why ijs.

Benevidez vs Callum is a very good fight for both sides of the boxing pond. Hearn should ice Turki out of that fight and let Callum go fight Benevidez in Vegas. Hearn needs to start flexing his lil muscles on Turki as well.

hahahahaha so true! Canelo will tell Bivol to fight Benevidez and if David wins Canelo will request the super Mayan franchise belt!

Well I predicted Bivol would drop the belt. I think he goes after everyone but Benavidez.
