DAVID BENAVIDEZ

Oleksandr Gvozdyk, 15/6/2024, MGM Grand Garden Arena, Las Vegas – UD 12

After 10 years as a super middleweight, Benavidez decided to make his move up to light heavy. But he would not get an easy touch in his first outing at the new weight, instead taking on ‘The Nail’ Gvozdyk for the WBC interim belt. The Ukrainian’s only previous defeat had come against Artur Beterbiev but he had no answer for the skills of Benavidez, who cruised to a unanimous decision victory, with one judge, Don Trella, scoring him a winner to the tune of 119-109 at the MGM Grand.

Demetrius Andrade, 25/11/2023, Michelob Ultra Arena, Las Vegas – RTD 6

This was one of Benavidez’s most thrilling performances to date and he did it against an undefeated two-weight world champion in Demetrius Andrade. The man from Rhode Island is currently the hardest man to hit in boxing, as he takes on average just 6.2 punches per round, but Benavidez had little trouble finding the target. Over the course of their six completed rounds, he landed 117 times, dropping him in the fourth, before Andrade’s corner pulled their man out before the start of the seventh.

Anthony Dirrell, 28/9/2019, Staples Center, Los Angeles – KO 9

Before Benavidez faced defending champion Anthony Dirrell in 2019, there were some who thought the opportunity might have come too soon for the youngster. But he would not be denied against The Dog from Flint Michigan, opening up a cut on his opponent with a legal punch in the sixth round. The beating continued until the ninth when Dirrell’s corner pulled their man out handing Benavidez the win and the world title on cuts.
