Jose Sr. believes the clash against Bivol (24-1, 12 KOs) will happen \u201cNext\u201d<\/strong> after Benavidez\u2019s title defense against Anthony Yarde on November 22nd in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.<\/p>\n For Bivol to suddenly start talking about wanting to fight \u2018The Mexican Monster\u2019 Benavidez (30-0, 24 KOs) is a clear signal to Jose Sr. that Turki spoke to him, telling him that he wants that matchup to happen now. Bivol had shown little interest in fighting Benavidez. He\u2019d even vacated his WBC 175-lb title recently rather than face him.<\/p>\n \u201cNow, he\u2019s talking about David Benavidez. I think Turki already called him, and he knows if everything goes well, he\u2019s going to have to fight David Benavidez. That\u2019s who we\u2019re facing later next,\u201d said trainer Jose Benavidez Sr. to Fighthype<\/a> about his son, \u2018The Mexican Monster\u2019 Benavidez\u2019s next fight after his November 22nd defense against Anthony Yarde.<\/p>\n Bivol\u2019s Pressure Struggles<\/strong><\/p>\n The pressure style that Benavidez uses will be a lot of trouble for Bivol, who doesn\u2019t handle being forced to fight. He struggled in his first fight against Artur Beterbiev when he was pressing him.<\/p>\n In their rematch, Bivol did better, but only because Artur didn\u2019t pressure as much, perhaps due to his being rushed into the fight months after knee surgery. When Beterbiev did go all out in an attack in the 12th, he had Bivol close to being knocked out. Benavidez will do the same, but right from the start.<\/p>\n Benavidez vs. Yarde Preview<\/strong><\/p>\n Benavidez is expected to make easy work of Yarde (27-3, 24 KOs) in their clash on DAZN on November 22nd at the ANB Arena in Riyadh. That\u2019s a step down from the grueling fight that Benavidez had against David Morrell last February.<\/p>\n \u201cSo, if he\u2019s [Bivol] speaking now, it\u2019s a fight that\u2019s made already. We\u2019re focused on Anthony Yarde. That\u2019s all we care about at the moment. After that\u2019s finished, we\u2019ll sit down and see who is next,\u201d said Benavidez Sr.<\/p>\n![\"YouTube](\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/1752958815_237_hqdefault.jpg\"\/)
