Reprezentujący swojego rodzinnego Feniksa, Arizona., and returning to fight there for the first time since 2015 listopada 13, Benavídez wyszedł z sparingu 15-letniego cudownego dziecka z Giennadiem Golovkinem i Peterem Quillinem, do pretendenta do tytułu mistrza świata z passą 10 walk przez nokaut od 2015 przez 2017, including a highlight-reel knockout of Rogelio Medina with a seven-punch combination that earned him his first title opportunity.
A native of Monmouth, N.J., Davis(16-2-1, 6 KO) most recently won an exciting September clash against Martez McGregor, triumphing by decision after eight action-packed rounds. Davis had previously been impressive against the toughest test of his career, as he fought two-time super middleweight champion Anthony Dirrell to a split-draw in February. It was the 26-year-old’s debut at super middleweight, after beginning his career at middleweight. Davis had won five of his six previous outings heading into the Dirrell clash. He is trained by renowned coach Stephen Edwards in Philadelphia, alongside former unified world champion Julian Wiliams.
