The undisputed heavyweight champion Dmitry Bivo and his compulsory WBC opponent, David Benavidez, are about to finalize an agreement for a fight this summer with a date and a place to be determined.
The promoters of Bivo in Match and Benavidez at first boxing champions (PBC) bring together the agreement, allowing Dmitry to keep his four belts. Last week, WBC ordered Bivol (24-1, 12 KB) to start negotiations with Benavidez (30-0, 24 KB), with a deadline of April 8 for talks.

“Watch out for attention !!! PBC and Match are very close to finalizing an agreement for Bivo and David Benavidez to face this summer, “said Juliusjulianis X.
Fans want to see Benavidez get fired on the four belts at Light Heavyweight because he won him with his victory over David Morrell last month. In addition, there is a decrease in the interest of seeing a third fight between Bivol and Artur Beterbiev after their two previous ones were more chess matches than entertaining fights.
This is where Benavidez comes into play. His specialty is to fight, slide her with her opponents in non-stop action, and that’s what fans of the United States and the world prefer to see. He has the kind of style that people of the modern era like to look.
The winner of the Bivo combat against Benavidez can face the former champion with four belts Artur Beterbiev or, if he feels courageous, Canelo Alvarez. Of the two, Alvarez would probably only fight Bivol because he is not someone he would have to worry about being knocked out.
There is not yet a word of Turki Alashikh to find out if he will try to put pressure for Bivol to fight a trilogy with Artur Beterbiev. We think that Turki would like this fight, and some believe that it is not confident that Bivol can defeat Benavidez. Bivol has a better chance of defeating Beterbiev, 40, than “the Mexican monster”.
The punishment that Artur Beterbiev pronounced in the twelfth round against Bivol last month during their revenge on February 22, it would be like that in each turn against Benavidez. He would light Bivo, forcing him to stay in motion and would try each tip of the book to survive.
If Turki decides that he does not want Bivol to fight Benavidez, it will not happen. I do not know why he would like this match to break down because the chances are high that Bivol will lose. He will not get a revenge match with Canelo after a defeat against Benavidez, and without a belt.
