Bivol reacted to Benavides' threats

"I've heard something like that. Honestly, I haven't seen those interviews. But I respect him as a boxer. He's a really great fighter. If he wants to fight me and Beterbiev, it means he's a good boxer, he's confident and wants to achieve a lot. Yes, we had a couple of sparring sessions, I did some things, he did some things. But it's just sparring," Bivol said in an interview with Fight Hub TV.
