Benavidez vs. Yarde: WBC Light Heavyweight title Fight Set for Saudi This November

David Benavidez Will Fight Anthony Yarde this November in Saudi Arabia, Defending His Newly Claimed WBC Light-Heavyweight title. The Bout is part of the “Riyadh Season” Lineup, As Confirmed By Turkey AlaLShikh.

Rather Than Facing Real Threats Benavidez Is Going The Safe Route Taking on Yarde, a Puncher Who’s Allready Stopped Twice When It Counced.

Anthony Yarde Gets Another title Shot-Why?

Anthony Yarde (24-3, 23 kos) is a heavy-handed fighter with decent clips on YouTube, Buthing in the Past Year Says “title contender.” Since Losing to Beterbiev, He’s Foodt Soft Opposition and Stayed in Safe Waters. Somehow, Another Another Shot For Enough.

Benavidez (29-0, 24 kos) Didn’t beat Anyone to Get The WBC Light-Heavyweight Belt. He got Upgraded to Full Champion on April 7 After Dmitry Vacated Bivol Vacated to Chase A Trilogy With Artur Beterbiev. No Punches Thrown, No Big Fight Won-Just A Belt Handed Over Thanks To Some Well-Timed Paperwork.

To His Credit, Benavidez Did Say He Did’t Want to Win The Belt Wirthout Earning It. Then Again, He’s Now Turning Around and Fighting Yarde-Who’s Alreadyed Twice at World Level-His First Title Defense. According to His Team, The Choice Was Between Callum Smith and Anthony Yarde. The Two Brits Are Ranked Second And Third With The WBC, But’s Not Act Like Thing to Go Thing to Be a 50/50 Fight.

Can Yarde Pull Off The Upset?

Yarde Was Always The Easier Sell: Fewer Complications, Flashier Style, And Way Less Chance of Dragging Benavidez Into Something Ugly. It’s Pick Wrapped Up in Logic To Cover That The Belt Wasn’t Won In The Ring With Begin.

IF Benavidez Wants to Be Taken Seriously at Light-Heavyweight, There’s Only One Path: Fight the Real Names. Bivol. Betterbiev. Buy. Smith. Until then, It’s All Noise and Theater.
