David Benavidez’s Vows
Benavidez made clear his goals, underlining the rigor of his training camp—his toughest to date—and his desire to show he is the kingpin of the division.
For a very long period, I’ve been watching Anthony Yarde. I understand he is a strong fighter with a great heart and energy. One thing I like about him is that he is present to create a great fight, irrespective of who he is fighting against. I want every battle to be a battle. This battle will live up to the moment; I am looking to dominate, and should the chance arise to stop or knock him out, I will surely be attempting it all night. I am writing my name in the game.
Anthony Yarde’s Confidence
Dismissing the idea of luck, Yarde—competing for the world championship for the third time—insisted his past experiences have made him a better, more seasoned fighter. He thinks Benavidez will fit his all-action approach exactly.
I often hear “three times the charm,” but I don’t think of luck. I believe I’m somewhat more experienced, a better fighter nowadays. My time, my moment is this. Stylistically, I believe this battle finishes in a knockout. Heavy artillery will make this a shootout. I always declared I didn’t want an easy path; I want to defeat someone like David Benavidez. Though I know the danger, legacy is what matters.
