WBC light‑heavyweight champion David Benavidez said he would not turn down a fight with Artur Beterbiev if that bout is offered to him after his title defense on November 22 against Anthony Yarde.
David Benavidez for Fighthype
I'm in a position where my opportunity is in the form of a Russian monster. If they offer me the fight, I can't say no.
Former undisputed light‑heavyweight champion Artur Beterbiev (21‑1, 20 KOs) will fight Deon Nicholson the same night on the undercard at the ANB Arena in Riyadh. Organizers hope that putting two knockout artists on the same card will build interest in a possible matchup between them in the future.
