Jose Benavidez Sr., father and coach of the unbeaten American David Benavidas, said that his son was not going to leave the second middle division, but admitted that they were ready to consider offers for a fight with one of the champions of the light heavyweight division - Dmitry Bivol or Artur Beterbiev.
“We are focused on 168 pounds, but if we are offered a fight with Bivol, it will be great. We don't mind avenging Gilberto Ramirez and Canelo. Imagine how big this fight will be, David vs. Bivol. This is a dangerous challenge and a really big event. We could move up to light heavyweight if everyone wanted to.
We could also fight Artur Beterbiev. He is a fucking beast, but you have to understand that he is 40 years old. Still, he is a very dangerous opponent, but David is ready to take on this challenge to make history,” Benavidez Sr. said in an interview with FightHype.
