The unbeaten "El Monstruo" Benavidez steps into the ring holding victories over names like Oleksandr Gvozdyk and David Morrell. His power, speed, and confidence serve him well as he commands the division during Dmitry Bivol's inactivity. Fans watch for Benavidez’s leadership in the division and how he will maintain his impressive standing.

Facing him stands the determined British fighter, Anthony Yarde. Known for his power and endurance, Yarde has resurrected his career with four consecutive wins over the past two years. Still, the challenge remains daunting; Yarde needs to deliver perfection to overcome an elite champion like Benavidez.

Expectations for this bout remain high as these two powerful fighters meet under the lights at "The King IV" event. Their matchup promises a night filled with skillful boxing and dramatic tension as they vie for supremacy in the light heavyweight division.
