“It’s not ideal, but here we are”: David Benavidez reacts to be converted into a Light WBC lightweight heavy weight champion after Bivol avoids obligatory defense

David Benavidez reacted to Instagram tonight to be crowned the new WBC heavy weight champion for the sanctioning body after Dmitry Bivol chose to abandon the title instead of fulfilling the WBC order for him to defend against him.

Benavidez (30-0, 24 kos) admitted that it is not the “Ideal way” For him to collect the WBC title of 175 LB, but he still intends to do the “best fights” for fans. He did not hit who he would be, but there are several good options among the contestants.

Avoid “the monster”?

Social media fans are overwhelming that Bivol was hooked on Benavidez for fear of losing -and disorder his great payment day for a trilogy match against Artur Beeterbiev. This is what Turki wants. If Bivol told Turki that he wanted to fight with Benavidez out of the first way, he would probably have agreed. Fear may have achieved the best of Dmitry. If he thought he could win, he would have greatly taken the fight with Benavidez as he did when he fought against the unknown Malik Zinad.

Benavidez is a high -risk opponent for Bivol, and his team may have seen their style of pressure too dangerous for them. Lost badly in the face of “Mexican monster” would have hurt Bivol’s marketing in a trilogy match with Beterbiev. Could not afford the luxury of happening. We do not know if Turki would remove Bivol’s rug if he were beaten by Benavidez and would change his mind on how to set up the trilogy.

David could only need to make a fight before the winner or loser of the Bivol VS Artur Beeterbiev trilogy contest looks like his way to try to recover the WBC belt to become an indisputable champion. It is difficult to predict what Bivol, 34, and Beterbiev will do because they have both made a lot of money in their two fights so far.

The third will increase their bank accounts even more where they do not need additional finances. Both become very old. Therefore, we will have to see if they want to recover the Benavidez WBC belt.

“He has just received the news that Bivol decided to abandon his title instead of fighting me. Now this makes me the World WBC champion in Light Heavyweight. This is not the ideal way to convert -me into a world champion, but, now, I am the heavy weight champion of the world’s WBC and I intend to put in the best struggles,” said David Benavidez to Benavidez. Instagramreacting to being updated to the full WBC heavy weight champion after Dmitry Bivol disassociated with the belt.
