It better be Morrell. Needs to do something to get to challenge either Bivol or Beterbiev.

Bet it's a no hoper like Jesse Hart so Benavidez can look like a "monster"

Well Benny cant take on a too much of a soft touch either he needs a good prep fight for whats coming next. Pretty sure wont be Morrell and certainly not because of the risk involved, im talking bout clash of interests on behalf of the PBC matchmaking.

Cool! More pay per view for tweener bouts. Sport has serious issues when it’s dependent on one Arab sheik

This kid deserves more respect for taking on Gvozdyk first fight at 175. Granted, not prime Gvozdyk, but not shot either. The nail is highly skilled, has good power and presents a significant challenge to anyone. I think Benevidez was much more impressive in his light heavyweight debut than his Cuban counterpart. Gvosdyk probably would have beat Morell

I agree 100%, that Morrell would be the perfect opponent on December 14, 2024.
To prepare him for the winner of Beterbiev vs Bivol, and that's dependent upon Benavidez beating Morrell in the first place.
Which won't be an easy task, and just might prove to be an even more challenging fight for both of them.
Then a fight against the winner between Beterbiev vs Bivol, might turn out to be.
Anyway you look at it, those are 3 incredible fights to watch in the future, it looks like 2025 is going to be a great year for boxing.

David beats Beterbiev on points. Bivol has sparred him.

Dmitry would never hesitate and would/will beat him to a pulp. David is twitchy and the in/out movement and level changes of Bivol over 12 rounds would exhaust him.

Watch the first few rounds of David vs. Plant. He was too cautious, imo. #tense

David Benavidez a beast but I see the haters on here! I'm happy he's ready to go again before year end I could care less who they match him with he shows more promise than 95% of fighters today!

Beterbiev annihilates David. Completely ruins him.
