David Benavidez, the WBC light heavyweight world champion, stated that he shook Dmitry Bivol during their last sparring session.

"If you shake someone in sparring, you can shake them in a fight. Sparred with him a lot, shook him in the last sparring session. I was only 22 years old then, while he is much more experienced. But I had enough experience to do it. Now I am smarter and more versatile," Benavidez said in an interview with the YouTube channel Ring Champs with Ak & Barak.
