Vision of Turki Alralikh: David Benavidez vs Artur Beeterbiev, Dmitry Bivol and Jai Opetaia

Turki Alshikh said he wants “A day” Match David Benavidez against Artur Beeterbiev, Dmitry Bivol and Jai Opetaia. Turki’s “one day” comment was not exactly motivating, as Bivol and Beeterbiev are the old -fashioned fighters with a short window of time before removing.

The problem of aging in the boxing elite

A better struggle for “The Mexican Monster” Benavidez would be against IBF ribbed champion Jai Opetaia. She is much younger than Beterbiev and Bivol. Unlike them, Opetia still has the hunger because he Has not yet reached the super-cha sort.

He would be open to fight Benavidez, and Turki should not meet the tough task of negotiations to bring him on board. They are part of the small group of combatants who are Nouveau Riche and give them the freedom to choose about their opponents. Ask Beterbiev and Bivol to stick their necks to face a young lion like Benavidez is probably too much.

Bivol already abandoned his WBC title when the sanctioning body had ordered him to defend him against Benavidez (30-0, 24 kos). The perception is that Bivol has no interest in wrapping himself with the very young in Benavidez, 28. His high -pressure style is wrong for him.

Bivol will be 35 years old in December and was not impressive in his debatable victory over Beterbiev, 40, last February. Despite having rushed to the ring after the recent knee surgery by 2024, Bertabev had hurt Bivol in the twelfth round and near being stopped. This was the only round in the struggle in which Arthur applied the maximum pressure and bivol folded.
