Benavidez Beterbiev or Bivol targets after fighting

David Benefidies says he wants to fight Artur Petersbiv or Dmitry Bever after that after he defends the light WBC heavyweight title against Anthony Yardi on November 22, 2025, at ARNA in RIYAADH.

BENAVIDEZ (30-0, 24 KOS) could not get the battle he wanted against Caneo Alvarez. He is not interested in moving to 168 to confront Tirins Crawford to his four belts, and the feeling is mutual on his part.

BENAVIDEZ puts his attention on BETERBIEV

“What I left for me?, In my opinion, a battle with BERBIEV or Bivol is the following,” said David Benefidies. Fight Hub TV. “The battles that I want are Beterbiev and Bivol just because I want to challenge myself. I want to be the best without a doubt.”

ARTUR BEERBIEV is likely to be the best bet for Benavidez on a battle, since BIVOL has already evacuated his WBA title when he was ordered to defense against him. This step showed that Bivol did not imagine the battle against him.

One of the problems that can face the Benavidez Fighting Artur road is its repeated injuries. 41 years old on January 26, 2026, and a problem began to be hurt during training.

Zurdo Ramirez becomes the Plan B.

“If I am not able to get it, my plan is to be a battle against Zyodo Ramirez at Cruiserweight. I have stumbled because these other fighters do not want to give me a chance, because they know what will happen.”

“The Mexican Monster” added Benfdiz that no one else see there for Gilberto Ramirez to fight alongside himself. He says it is a bigger name than the IBF Cruiserweight Jai OpenTAIA champion, and he is right. American fans are more familiar with Nafdez than they are with Australian Optia.

Ultimately, it may be about whether Turki Alalshiph is ready to offer a higher salary to Zordo Ramirez to fight Benavidez instead of OpenTIA.

Jay recently explained in an interview that he wanted the hero to become an undisputed champion in Cruiserweight by beating Zioardo Ramirez and Bedouin Jack. Opta should not matter if he fights Ramirez or Penefides of belts, but he may do so.
