Benavidez explains why he's confident of beating Bivol

American super middleweight boxer David Benavidez declares that he intends to move up to the light heavyweight division soon. David has no doubts that he will be able to win the championship belt in this weight category, and considers the Russian WBA Super title holder to be the most likely opponent Dmitry Bivol.

“Definitely, I want to move up to 175 pounds. I know I can win the belt because I sparred with Bivol. I know many have watched the interview in which I say that I will knock him out. I do not doubt my abilities, so I want to meet him.

Every fighter at this level needs to be confident. I don't lie to you. I sparred with him at the Churchill nightclub. There were many people there, and they saw what happened then.

I'm not going to lie to anyone. If someone thinks that I'm lying, then he can ask for a video of that sparring from people from Churchill Boxing. Let's see what happened then. So I have no doubt that I can move up to 175 pounds and win the belt, ”Boxing News 24/7 quotes Benavidez.
