Benavidez is on a mission to conquer the light heavyweight division, and he's not holding back. After successfully defending his WBC 175-pound title by stopping Anthony Yarde in November, Benavidez revealed his bold plans for the future. He's aiming to take on the formidable Russian fighters, Dmitry Bivol and Artur Beterbiev, in quick succession. But here's where it gets controversial... Benavidez believes that these Russians will eventually have no choice but to fight him, and he's not wrong. However, the road to these fights is not without its twists and turns. Bivol, who was ordered by the WBC to face Benavidez after his victory over Beterbiev, decided to pursue a trilogy against Beterbiev instead, citing back surgery as the reason. Despite this setback, Benavidez remains undeterred and is determined to make these fights happen. So, what's next for Benavidez? Will he succeed in his quest to become the undisputed champion? And will the Russians finally face him in the ring? It's a thrilling journey ahead, and we can't wait to see what unfolds. Stay tuned, and let's discuss in the comments! Do you think Benavidez will achieve his goals, or will the Russians find a way to avoid him?
