Well-known American coach Robert Garcia expressed the opinion that the interim WBC champion in the second middleweight David Benavidez has every chance to win titles in the light heavyweight division.
āBenavidez is a monster, a tough boxer. It's very difficult to defeat him. There are real challenges for him: moving up in weight and fighting Bivol and Beterbiev. These are dangerous fights in which he will take great risks.
I think he can get the wins, but there's a chance they'll beat him because these guys are just bigger and stronger. But can David emerge victorious in these confrontations? Yes. And I think he will do it because right now he is very good. His confidence is on top of the world. Now heāll fight anyone,ā Garcia said in an interview with the Little Giant Boxing YouTube channel.
