Michael Benson, a well-known journalist and insider, published a post on his social networks, in which he revealed the ambitious plans of Turki Al-Sheikh, an advisor to the royal court with the rank of minister and current chairman of the General Entertainment Authority in Saudi Arabia. According to Benson, the official wants to hold three boxing mega-fights in Saudi Arabia in the near future.
David Benavidez may continue to wait for a fight against Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez. This is despite him moving up in weight to face Oleksandr Gvozdyk for a light heavyweight title in June. Canelo, who holds all titles at 168 pounds, is scheduled to fight Jaime Munguia on May 4 at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
The other day David Benavides, who knows no defeats, got into a scandalous situation - he appeared on video in a drunken state. Today his rival, Ukrainian Alexander Gvozdik reacted to this incident.
"I expect to see the best version of Benavides in the ring. Yes, I saw him drunk on TV. But the fight is still two months away, he probably hasn't even started training camp. If David has time to have fun and relax, why not? Sometimes people have a drink, it's not forbidden. It's his own business. I don't care. If he drinks and doesn't train, fine. It's easier for me," said Gvozdik in an interview with Boxing Scene.
Recall, the fight Gvozdik-Benavides will be held on June 22. At stake will be the title of interim world champion in the light heavyweight division of the WBC.
