The promoter Sampson Lewkowicz says that David Benavidez will fight for the full semi -marked weight title of the WBC in September, possibly against Callum Smith, after the belt is deflated or removed from the current champion Dmitry Bivol.
Lewkowicz declared that he wants Bivol to return the CMB title and deliver it on Monday because he will not defend him against Benavidez. He will not be at stake when Bivol faces Artur Beterbiev in his trilogy party.
The WBC has already ordered Bivol to begin negotiating with the BBC Benavidez mandatory (30-0, 24 kos), and until April 8 they have an agreement before a bag offer. However, Lewkowicz does not see that that happens due to the Bivol-Beterbiev trilogy party found in the planning stages.
No chance That bivol will run the risk of fighting ‘the Mexican monster’ Benavész first because it would probably lose and would not be without a belt for the trilogy party against Artur Beterbiev. The fight would still maintain interest for fans, but much less because Bivol arose from a defeat against Benavés and has no titles.
If Benavidez were an easy brand, Bivol would probably fight with him in a second and finish it. But he and his management obviously know that Benavidity is wrong for him and easily resolves his style of blow and escape. That approach worked in Artur Beterbiev, 40, because he is old and slow. It would not be effective against Benavész, who is young at age 28, quickly and cuts the ring well.
“He will not fight (in a defense for the title of his interim belt). It will have to be for the full title of the WBC. If Bivol does not take the fight, I recommended that he give up (defounder) the title before April 8,” said promoter Sampson Lewkowicz so that Fight Hub TV On his insist that the semi -marked weight champion of the WBC Dmitry Bivol be defended against his mandatory David Benavidez below or leaves the belt.
It is not clear why Bivol’s promotional team is dragging him because Benavidez will not change his mind about wanting his opportunity for WBC’s mandatory title. If they think it will change their minds, they are joking because it will not happen. Bivol could also cancel the belt now so they can begin to promote trilogy with Becterbiev based on the fact that it is not for the indisputable semi -marked weight championship.
“It will not happen,” Sampson said about a fight between Bivol and Benavidez. “If he (bivol) does not want the fight on Monday, bring the back belt. The guy who brings the money to the place (the Saudi), does not want (bivol-benavidez),” Lewkowicz said.
It will not be the end of the world to Bivol enter the trilogy party with Becterbiev with three belts instead of four. The fight will still have value for fans who like to see the two of 175 pounds fight in another chess match.
Boxing fans are tired of seeing Bivol and Beterbiev fight, since neither of his two fights has been entertaining. According to US standards, their fights have been boring. People outside the country may like tactical fights that look like amateur competitions, but American fans do not enjoy that style.
“It could be (Callum) Smith (which Benavidez fights below), but there are many others. He will fight in September for the full title,” said Lewkowicz. “If he (bivol) wants to go to a bag offer, we are well prepared with PBC. America wants your own blood to fight (for a semi -stated weight title), and the blood is David Benavés. It is the best fight.
“We already saw twice the same fight (Bivol vs. Artur Beterbiev). Less than 50,000 people saw that fight (in Dazn PPV in his revenge on February 22). It is a good fight for us (hardcore fans) who love boxing, but for normal people, they don’t care. I would never get to Saudi because I love that cry. ”
