Former undisputed heavyweight champion Mike Tyson has named a current boxer he would hesitate to face in the ring.
Mike Tyson for Give Me Sport
I like him [Benavidez] against everybody. He’s so underrated but so over-polarised here. Listen, I’d be afraid to fight him too if I was in that division. No one even has a chance against him, and I’m talking facts.
Tyson last fought against Jake Paul in November 2024. That bout went the distance, and Mike lost by unanimous decision. His record stands at 50 wins (44 by knockout) and seven losses.
Benavidez faced David Morrell in February this year, winning the fight by unanimous decision after going the full distance. His record is 30 wins (24 by knockout) and no losses.
