Benavidez vs. Morrell Jr. set for Las Vegas light heavyweight clash as potential challenge to Canelo Álvarez

David Benavidez and David Morrell Jr. are set to face off in a light heavyweight matchup in Las Vegas, with both fighters seen as potential threats to Canelo Álvarez's dominance in the division. While Benavidez's knockout power and American roots have made him a more prominent name, Morrell, a skilled southpaw with a strong Cuban amateur background, presents a technical challenge. The fight, anticipated for February 1, will likely elevate the winner to a position where they might call out Álvarez for a future bout.
