His Excellency Turki Alalshikh desires to see WBA gentle heavyweight champion Dmitry Bivol struggle David Benavidez and IBF cruiserweight champion Jai Opetaia if he’s victorious towards IBF/WBC/WBO champ Artur Beterbiev on October 12.
Bivol (23-0, 12 KOs) hasn’t appeared concerned with preventing Opetaia or Benavidez for some purpose, and a few followers query whether or not he’ll conform to struggle both of these guys as a result of threat concerned.
Granted, Bivol would possibly lose, however the payday might be good, and he will get the chance to indicate the followers how good he’s. Followers are by no means going to struggle that out if Bivol retains preventing guys like Malik Zinad, Lyndon Arthur, and Gilberto Ramirez.
He’s bought the proper place going up towards the 39-year-old Beterbiev (20-0, 20 KOs), who might be coming off a current knee damage when he faces Bivol in October. That provides Bivol an excellent benefit.
Going up towards younger and wholesome Opetaia and Benavidez might be a unique story for Bivol, and he would possibly crumble.
Bivol might want to resolve whether or not he desires to play it secure after the Beterbiev struggle or take the chance of going through Opetaia and Benavidez. Alalshikh isn’t asking numerous Bivol by wanting him to struggle Opetaia and Benavidez as a result of these are fights that he must be concerned with taking if he desires to struggle the very best.
Bivol would want to have his protection on level if he desires to beat these two fighters as a result of they each pack a punch and would stress Bivol all the time.
These can be extra harmful opponents for Bivol, but when he’s pretty much as good as he and his promoter Eddie Hearn assume he’s, he shouldn’t have any issues beating Benavidez and Opetaia.
Having Bivol on a 5 vs. 5 occasion in Saudi Arabia towards Opetaia or Benavidez can be nice for the followers to see how effectively he does towards these skills.
