Benavidez on the Yarde Fight: “We’re two rams going at each other”

WBC Light Heavyweight world champion David Benavidez has shared his expectations ahead of his fight against Britain’s Anthony Yarde.

“I expect to go into the ring and hit him in every round. Every round. If there’s an opportunity to stop him or knock him out, I’ll definitely try to do that all night, because at the end of the day, that’s what I do.

I don’t waste time taking fights to the judges’ scorecards. He doesn’t either. So, like I said before, it’s two warriors going in there. We’re two rams going at each other. Nobody’s backing down. He won’t back down. I won’t back down.

But this is what boxing needs to return to. Boxing fans need fights like this,” Benavidez said.

The fight between David Benavidez (30-0, 24 KOs) and Anthony Yarde (27-3, 24 KOs) will take place on November 22 in Riyadh. Analytical breakdown and detailed fight statistics are available via the link below the news.
