עוף החול, AZ (יוני 28, 2016) – Unbeaten Mexican-American super-middleweight, דוד “הדגל האדום” בנבידז (15-0, 14 קוס) is eager to stamp his name in the division. האחרון יום שבתat the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, ניו יורק, Benavidez stopped former undefeated Canadian, Francy Ntetu (16-1, 3 קוס), handing him his first loss of his career. עם הניצחון, Benavidez is looking to climb up the rankings with the hopes of challenging a top contender by the end of the year.
“I see myself fighting someone in the top ten by the end of the year,” said David Benavidez. “I just beat an undefeated fighter in Ntetu, who pushed me. I want to fight more guys like him and earn my way to the top. I know if I continue to win fights, many opportunities will open up for me.”
בנבידז, who campaigns at light-heavyweight and super-middleweight, wants to settle in at 168 קילו. With a long road ahead of him, Benavidez is ready for the journey.
“Although I’ve had a few fights at light-heavyweight, but my plan is to win a title at super-middleweight. I have no problem making 168 pounds and that’s where I’ll be making my march up the rankings. I have a lot of work to do, but I set the bar high for myself and I won’t settle for mediocrity. I got my eye on all the champions at super-middleweight. I’m just going to take it one fight at a time.”
