Benavidez: Morrell has made it personal for me
WBC interim light heavyweight champion David “El Monstro” Benavidez held a Las Vegas media workout on Thursday before his showdown with fellow unbeaten star David Morrell Jr. on Saturday, February 1 on a Prime Video pay-per-view event from T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
David Benavidez: “I’ve been in big fights since I was 20-years-old, so to be out there representing the Mexican and Mexican-American people on this stage, it’s everything I’ve wanted out of this sport. I have to show people that I’m the real ‘Mexican Monster’…the way I fight, I always try to take my opponents out. It doesn’t mean you always get it, but we’re definitely going to be pushing for it. David Morrell has made it personal for me. I’m glad he’s confident in himself. It’s all speculation until we get in there. On February 1, I’ll show why I’m at this level…right now I’m 100% focused on February 1. After that we can talk about getting all of those light heavyweight belts.”
