Benavidez Steps Up to Light Heavyweight
David Benavidez (28-0, 24 KOs) takes a risky step up in class fighting at light heavyweight, seeking the WBC interim 175-lb title against the former world champion Oleksandr Gvozdyk (20-1, 16 KOs) in the 12-round chief support bout on tonight’s card.
This is a calculated risk on Benavidez’s part, choosing to leave the safe waters of the 168-lb division to swim with the sharks at 175 with hopes of picking up that bag.
Benavidez is popular enough to headline his card, but he’s been packaged with Tank Davis to ensure the success of tonight’s card on PBC on Prime Video PPV.
Gvozdyk will determine whether Benavidez has any future at 175. As it’s a new weight class, there are many questions about whether he’s the real deal or just another one of the many fighters who has become overconfident, drunk on past successes.
After Benavidez’s previous venture into the pay-per-view market last November, placing him on the undercard was a safer bet than the main event.
