David Benavidez vs. David Morrell Jr.: Fight card, date, start time, streaming, how to watch, venue, and more

The David Benavidez vs. David Morrell Jr. fight is a pivotal one that is expected to have major implications in the 175-pound title landscape. The winner -- of this much-awaited clash between the two young, unbeaten boxers -- is likely to fight the winner of the Artur Beterbiev vs. Dmitry Bivol undisputed light heavyweight title rematch.

Before Beterbiev vs. Bivol 2 goes down later in February, fans of the sweet science would first get to witness the fight between Benavidez and Morrell. Benavidez, an American fighter of Mexican and Ecuadorian descent, currently holds the WBC interim light heavyweight championship. Meanwhile, Cuba's Morrell possesses the WBA (Regular) light heavyweight championship.

The Benavidez vs. Morrell winner would hold the WBA (Regular) and WBC interim light heavyweight titles. Certain sections of the combat sports community have hailed Benavidez as the more established fighter of the duo, opining that he's already proven his mettle against top-tier opposition and Morrell is supposedly yet to do that.

Nevertheless, many fans and experts, including former undisputed heavyweight champion 'Iron' Mike Tyson, have previously indicated that Morrell is a worthy opponent and could pose a threat to Benavidez. Incidentally, Tyson is often credited for giving Benavidez the latter's nickname, 'The Mexican Monster.'

Moreover, the high-stakes Benavidez-Morrell headlining matchup will be supported by several other exciting fights on the card. That includes WBC featherweight champion Brandon Figueroa defending his belt against Stephen Fulton Jr. and attempting to avenge a points defeat to Fulton from 2021.
