Budding star David Benavidez is making waves in the boxing world as he forges ahead in his career, regardless of the obstacles in his path. The 27-year-old fighter has been diligently training and preparing for his upcoming bout, showcasing his determination and focus.
Despite his aspirations for a showdown with Canelo Alvarez being put on hold, Benavidez remains undeterred. Rather than dwell on the missed opportunity, he has chosen to take proactive steps to advance his career. Benavidez recently announced his move up to the light heavyweight division, with a highly anticipated debut match against Oleksandr Gvozdyk set to take place at the MGM Grand Garden Arena.
In a recent interview, Benavidez expressed his commitment to his career progression, stating, “I’m not going to wait on no other fighter to establish my career and really try to become the best in any division I’m in. … I’m coming up to 175 [pounds] and I’m looking to take over.” His decision to move up in weight class signifies his determination to seek new challenges and opportunities in the sport.
The boxing community was disappointed when Alvarez opted to face Jaime Munguia instead of Benavidez, a decision that prompted Benavidez to make the strategic move to the light heavyweight division. With an impressive record of 28-0 and 24 knockouts, Benavidez has already made a significant impact in the super middleweight division, defeating notable opponents such as Caleb Plant and Demetrius Andrade.
Benavidez’s decision to transition to a higher weight class has generated excitement among fans and pundits alike, as they anticipate his upcoming match against Gvozdyk. His relentless work ethic and unwavering determination have positioned him as a rising star in the boxing world, poised to make a mark in the light heavyweight division.
