Beterbiev's coach: “I don’t consider Benavidez a difficult opponent for Arthur”

John Scully, member of the coaching staff of the WBC, IBF and WBO world champion in the light heavyweight category Artur Beterbiev, shared his thoughts on the potential fight of his ward with the holder of the WBC belt in the second middle division David Benavidez.

“I don’t consider Benavidez a difficult opponent for Beterbiev. To be honest, I think he is, on the contrary, convenient for Arthur. If you could say who shouldn’t fight Artur Beterbiev, it would be him. I don’t think that this style, based on strength superiority and gaining momentum as the confrontation progresses, will work with Arthur,” the specialist said in an interview with the YouTube channel Fight Hype.

Beterbiev is expected to fight a unification fight with Dmitry Bivol on June 1.
