No Bivol vs. Benavidez Talks: Hearn focuses on the resale of Beterbiev

Promoter Eddie Hearn says there was no debates on a struggle between David Benavidez and Dmitry Bivol passing below.

Turki’s decision

Hearn claims that the indisputable heavyweight champion, Bivol (24-1, 12 kos), will fight against who Turki Alshikh wants the next one, and believes that he is a trilogy with Artur Beeterbiev. If Turki wants the game with Benavidez (30-0, 24 kos) afterwards, Hearn says he will.

For Hearn, it is better than his 34-year-old Bivol fighter to face Beterbiev (21-1, 20 kos) below because he better coincides with him than against the youngest, faster and much more busy “Mexican monster” Benavidez. If Bivol takes this struggle, he will lose, destroying much of the remaining interest of fans in a trilogy game.

If you correspond to Hearn, you will want to get Bertiev, 40, or Callum Smith, because these two give Bivol their best opportunity to keep in the belt. Bivol is a good fighter, but he struggles when he pressed the first fight with Beterbiev and during the first half of the revenge last month on February 22.

David Benavidez would pressure without leaving, and he would not keep his hands on. This is where Beterbiev lost the fight. It was slow to cut the ring in Bivol, but did not throw enough when he would catch him. I was waiting for the perfect time, and this allowed Bivol to escape or throw before it did.

No conversations

“It has never happened, it has never been near. There has never been conversations, but it is a great struggle and we do not rule out it,” said promoter Eddie Hearn Fighthype On a clash between the indisputable heavy weight champion, Dmitry Bivol and the WBC, which is mandatory David Benavidez.

“Ultimately, his excellence (Turki Alshikh) has given us four fights around the world, particularly in Saudi Arabia and great opportunities. Everything you say is then we will. If you want us to fight against Benavidez, we will fight against Benavidez. My sense of intestine is that he will want to make the trilogy (with Artur Beeterbiev). So we’ll see it, “said Hearn.
