Benavidez vs. Morrell Jr Feb 1st on Prime PPV; Figueroa vs. Fulton Rematch in Co-Feature

The highly anticipated showdown between David Benavidez and David Morrell Jr. is set for February 1st, headlining a Prime PPV event at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. The bout pits WBC interim super middleweight champion Benavidez (29-0, 24 KOs) against the undefeated Morrell (11-0, 9 KOs) in what promises to be a potential Fight of the Year contender.

Benavidez, who is on track for a shot at the winner of Artur Beterbiev’s expected rematch with Dmitry Bivol, is taking a significant risk against Morrell. Although Morrell had a slightly shaky light heavyweight debut against Radivoje Kalajdzic, his blend of speed and power makes him a formidable challenge for anyone in the division.

The co-feature sees Brandon Figueroa (25-1-1, 19 KOs) and Stephen Fulton (22-1, 8 KOs) running it back after their thrilling first encounter. Originally slated for the Gervonta Davis vs. Lamont Roach Jr. card in December, the rematch now enhances an already stacked February lineup.

The undercard promises more fireworks, including a super lightweight clash between Isaac “Pitbull” Cruz (26-3-1, 18 KOs) and Angel Fierro (22-2-2, 17 KOs). Additionally, Jesus Ramos (21-1, 17 KOs) takes on former unified junior middleweight champion Jeison Rosario (24-4-2, 18 KOs). Remarkably, despite his storied career, Rosario is still shy of his 30th birthday.
