David Benavidez ready for war as he enters promotional mode for his next defense. He is set to face British challenger Anthony Yarde in Riyadh, live on DAZN. The stakes will be high. He holds the full WBC light heavyweight title after capturing and being elevated from the interim belt.
David Benavidez Ready For War
Benavidez was asked if Yarde wants to fight a war. He answered, “We’re okay with that. Let’s go to war.” His training has been intense. His team revealed sparring and strength camps designed for brutal rounds.
Yarde has pushed for a shootout fight and has waved the flag for aggression. In response, Benavidez has leaned into the confrontational tone. He believes his power, speed, and composure will make the difference.
The fight is expected to headline “The Ring IV” in November in Riyadh. Benavidez will make his first title defense and Yarde will get a third crack at world glory.
The promise of war adds drama. It also signals a risk. Both fighters know that to win, they must take hits and deliver. In the end, the man who holds his nerve under fire may walk away champion once more.
