Benavidez Triumphs Over Gvozdyk in Explosive Light Heavyweight Debut

David "El Monstro" Benavídez made a thunderous entrance into the 175-pound division, securing a unanimous decision victory against former light heavyweight world champion Oleksandr “The Nail” Gvozdyk. The clash, held on July 15, 2024, was a high-stakes bout for the Interim WBC Light Heavyweight Title, showcasing Benavidez’s relentless pressure and precise combination punches.

From the opening bell, it was clear that Benavidez had come prepared. Despite Gvozdyk's advantage in height, Benavidez's relentless approach and sharp combinations kept Gvozdyk on the defensive. The two fighters had sparred five years ago, and Benavidez’s prediction of checking Gvozdyk’s chin again came true in spectacular fashion.

Throughout the fight, Benavidez showcased his superior technique and power. The eighth round saw Benavidez landing a jolting left uppercut on the inside, followed by a series of precise body shots and a powerful right hand. His ability to weave in and out while delivering punishing blows left Gvozdyk struggling to find his rhythm.

The tenth round highlighted Benavidez’s dominance, as he walked Gvozdyk down, landing a fantastic left hook followed by a right hand that visibly hurt Gvozdyk. The match continued to be a display of Benavidez's aggressive and calculated fighting style, ultimately leading to his victory via unanimous decision.

This victory positions Benavidez as a formidable contender for the Undisputed Light Heavyweight Title, a bout that will be decided in October between Dmitry Bivol and Artur Beterbiev.
