David Benavidez, the interim WBC light heavyweight champion, has commented on a possible match against undisputed world champion Dmitry Bivol.
So right now we’re trying to negotiate the fight; it might be in the works for September. But we don’t know. You know everything in boxing is not 100%, so we’re just going to keep trying to negotiate the fight, and if it doesn’t happen, it doesn’t happen. But that’s the one we’re trying to make happen.
