David Benavidez was speaking powerful throughout his time on the podium of their first press convention, vowing to interrupt the mouth of David Morrell for questioning his braveness within the final a number of years. The 2 fighters met up right now to start selling their February 1st combat on PBC on Prime Video PPV in Las Vegas.
Morrell, 26, has gotten on Benavidez’s nerves by bashing him repeatedly for not stepping as much as combat him. Benavidez felt it was extra vital to combat different guys, like David Lemieux, Ronald Ellis, Demetrius Andrade, and Caleb Plant.
The concept was for Benavidez to remain unbeaten to get the Canelo Alvarez mega-fight. That combat by no means materialized, so Benavidez is able to take dangerous fights now towards Morrell and the winner of the Artur Beterbiev vs. Dmitry Bivol 2 rematch if he will get that far.
Curiously, Benavidez (29-0, 24 KOs) claimed that he couldn’t perceive what the Cuban-born Morrell (11-0, 9 KOs) was saying when he was talking Spanish to him. Benavidez speaks Spanish, however the accent is just a little completely different than in Cuba, so he couldn’t perceive Morrell.
Benavidez will problem Morrell for his WBA ‘common’ mild heavyweight title in a loaded card on the T-Cellular Area in Las Vegas. The winner shall be ready to combat for the undisputed 175-lb championship towards Artur Beterbiev or whoever holds the 4 belts by the second half of 2025.
“This man has been disrespecting me. I’m going to interrupt his mouth so he has one thing to recollect me,” stated David Benavidez throughout right now’s kickoff press convention, ripping into David Morrell for criticizing him for the final two to a few years as a result of he refused to combat him till after his current lackluster efficiency.
“He has been speaking about me for about 2-3 years. Disrespecting me, my dad, my brother…so now you need to take it personally with me. So, I’m personally going to interrupt his mouth so he has one thing to recollect me by.”
