Undefeated light heavyweight stars David "El Monstro" Benavidez and David Morrell Jr. will finally face off this Saturday night at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, headlining a star-studded PBC Pay-Per-View event on Prime Video.
“I’ve worked harder for this fight than any before,” said Benavidez. “I’m ready to show all that work on Saturday night. It’s time to stop talking and let the fight do the talking.”
Morrell echoed the sentiment, saying, “Fight week is here, and I’m ready to prove I’m the best light heavyweight in the world. This is going to be one of the year’s best fights, and I can’t wait to get in the ring.”
After months of intense back-and-forths and a heated build-up, these two undefeated fighters will compete for Benavidez's Interim WBC title and Morrell's WBA title. The winner will not only claim the title but could also establish themselves as a future star in the light heavyweight division and a possible pound-for-pound contender.
Tickets for the event are available through AXS.com, and the PPV can be streamed via Prime Video in the US, UK, and Canada, or accessed through traditional cable and satellite outlets, and PPV.com.
