Benavides: "Usyk is the best in the world and he will show it on Saturday"

American David Benavides, the holder of the WBC interim middleweight belt, supported Ukrainian Oleksandr Usyk ahead of his upcoming fight with Britain's Tyson Fury, which will be fought for the title of absolute champion in the heavyweight division.

The fight will take place on May 18 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

"We have a fight Usyk - Fury. We will be supporting Alexander, we think he is the best super heavyweight on the planet right now.

We saw that Ryan Garcia will be supporting Fury, but obviously Ryan doesn't understand anything because he was going to fight me at 74.4 kg. So we're here and we're Team Usyk, the best in the world, and he's going to show it on Saturday," Benavides said on Instagram.
