Turki Alalshikh says he has lost interest in making an attempt to organize a fight between the undisputed champion of Semi -Sedmed Weight Dmitry Bivol and his mandatory undefeated WBC David Benavés. He does not say why he has lost interest in the Bivol-Benavez fight.
If Turki’s motto is ‘the best against the best’, he should be in favor of Bivol fighting the WBC Benavidez mandatory to Benavász below because he has won the fight with his impressive victory over David Morrell on February 1. ‘The Mexican monster’ Benavidez is Kriptonite for bivol and Beterbiev.
To demolish the title?
It is possible that Bivol needs to cancel its WBC title if the sanctioning body pushes, and it seems that they will. That might not bother Turki if his goal is to focus only on ring titles for his fights in the boxing league he is creating with Dana White.
If Alalshikh just wants to use his titles, it will not matter if Bivol is stripped of his WBC belt. Of course, I could care if he will not be in the League of Turki because he would be losing his belts. Eddie Hearn’s house room promotes bivol.
It is the one that fans want now, since they are tired of seeing Bivol and Artur Beterbiev fight after seeing them fight twice. Fans have already seen the routine between them. Bivol hits and runs, and the slow -shaped berbiev pursues him when he is not tired. Both fights were bored.
Insinued trilogy?
Alalshikh says that Bivol (24-1, 12 kos) should not “be late, which is a code because he needs to fight against the person Turki wants him to later, not benavide. Artur Benerbiev In a trilogy. Dmitry defeated him for a majority decision of 12 rounds in his rematch last month on February 22 in Riyadh.
People have seen Bivol and Beterbiev fight enough to last a lifetime. They want a new blood to challenge Bivol for their titles, not a third meaningless fight between them.
Last week, the WBC ordered Bivol and ‘the Mexican monster’ Benavász (30-0, 24 kos) to begin negotiations. They were given until April 8 to organize an agreement before ordering a bag offer.
“Arrive on time”
“I am no longer interested in Bivol-Benavez and I will not offer for it. I think Bivol knows who has delivered for him and who does not, “Turki Alalshikh said Ring Magazinerevealing that he is not interested in the undisputed champion of semi -marked weight Dmitry Bivol who defends against his struggle ordered by the WBC against David Benavidez mandatory.
“My advice for bivol: you are not late because every day something changes.”
