thinks “Iron Mike”.
Plant in October stopped ex-world champion compatriot Anthony Dirrell with an unforgettable knockout. And before that, he made a good statement about himself in the fight for the title of absolute division champion against Canelo Alvarez – he lost by a late knockout.
Tyson does not hide that he would like to see Benavidez a division higher: “I want to see him in fights with Anthony Yarde, Dmitry Bivol and other fighters of the same level. Look, he has someone to fight with. The only question is whether they want it.”
Meanwhile, Benavides threatens to knock out Bivol, does not rule out that we will see him even in heavyweight. A little earlier, the experienced Hopkins said that he already knew who would win in the battle between Benavidez and Plant.
