The 28-year-old Benavidez, an American of Mexican heritage, has stopped 24 of his 30 opponents and is a former two-time super-middleweight champion.<\/p>\n

Nicknamed the “Mexican Monster”, he promised a “war”.<\/p>\n

“I’ve had my eye on Anthony Yarde for a long time. He has power and heart. No matter who he faces, it’s a good fight,” added the Phoenix-born Benavidez.<\/p>\n

“I want to give people action-packed fights. This one is going to live up to the moment.”<\/p>\n

Earlier, heated words between the camps of WBO welterweight champion Brian Norman Jr and fellow American challenger Devin Haney – who meet on the undercard – led to security stepping in as Haney’s father Bill moved toward Norman’s father Brian Sr.<\/p>\n

In contrast, there was mutual respect between the headliners, with Yarde and Benavidez sharing smiles and a warm embrace during their face-off.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
