Two-time WBC middleweight champion David Benavidez is one of the most skilled boxers in the super middleweight division. Moreover, he will get to prove his talents against former IBF champion Caleb Plant who he will meet on 25th March. The Mexican is currently undefeated in his professional career with 26 wins and no losses on his resume. Plant on the other hand has only been beaten once by current champion Canelo Alvarez.

This bout will be an exciting contest with the winner most probably next in line to challenge for the title. Moreover, boxing legend Mike Tyson touted Benavidez to win this fight and was even present in the build-up to support the Mexican. In addition, a recent video showcased the two sharing some pleasantries ahead of the fight.

In the video Tyson and Benavidez can be seen hugging before ‘Monster’ thanks ‘Iron Mike’ for coming. He claimed that he appreciated Tyson’s efforts and told him it wasn’t necessary for him to come out to watch the fight at this age. However, the boxing world was not so keen on the two fighters showing some love as they blasted Benavidez for this.
