Benavidez vs Beterbiev Chess Match

from Sports News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!

David Benavidez and Artur Beterbiev are locked in a high-stakes boxing chess match, with both fighters circling each other while eyeing Dmitry Bivol as the ultimate prize. Benavidez’s camp claims they initiated talks with Beterbiev’s team, who allegedly backed out — but Beterbiev insists Benavidez’s camp wasn’t interested before his Yarde fight. Benavidez’s father confirms they’re ready to fight Beterbiev anytime, respecting him as a top-tier fighter, though Bivol remains their top target for undisputed status. Benavidez’s recent wins — stopping Yarde and defeating Ramirez — have him riding high, while Beterbiev, sidelined since losing his undisputed crown to Bivol, is open to stepping in if Bivol’s third fight doesn’t materialize. With Benavidez holding the WBC title and Bivol controlling the rest, the stage is set for a blockbuster showdown — or a strategic pass — as both men plot their next move.
