With 23 wins via knockout, Benavidez is a true force of nature. He won the WBC super middleweight title in 2017 but was stripped of it when he tested positive for cocaine. Returning in 2019, Benavidez beat Anthony Dirrell for the belt. His last fight was a TKO win against David Lemieux in May 2022 for the interim WBC title.

“This has been a fight in the making for the last five years, and it couldn’t have come at a better time. I’m at my best right now mentally and physically. On March 25, I finally get to put hands on Caleb Plant,” Benavidez stated at the pre-fight press conference. “When you’re on the ground bleeding, you’ll learn how to respect a real fighter. I’m what you want to be. You’re a chump.”
A 2011 Golden Gloves gold medalist, Plant turned pro in 2014. An amateur kickboxer at one point, Plant beat Jose Uzcategui in 2019 for the IBF super middleweight belt. He defended it multiple times before Canelo beat him for the belt in November 2021.
Returning to action in October, Plant violently knocked out Dirrell in the ninth round. He looks to finish Benavidez once and for all on fight night.
“We’re both at the top of the division,” Plant stated. “This rivalry only started because we agree to disagree on who’s better. And that’s fine, he should feel like that. That’s how great fighters are supposed to feel. It’s slowly built up over time… I never said David’s a bad fighter because I have no interest in fighting bad fighters. I want to fight good fighters and make big fights. This is the best fight that could be made in the division.”

Why isnt this garbage on TV anywhere??
It’s on ESPN+
de Oliveira was embarrassing. Just stood there smiling and waiting to be hit. The ref literally had to tell him to fight back in round 1.
As boxing fans we’re all used to shocking mismatches… but ESPN take it to a new level.
I will keep an eye on Mason and see what develops for him.

Boxing News: Mayweather vs. Gotti June 11 » September 25, 2023 – Fight News
Boxing Hall of Famer and undefeated legend Floyd “Money” Mayweather (50-0, 27 KOs) will hold a press conference this week to announce his latest exhibition fight as he prepares to take on professional boxer and mixed martial artist John Gotti III (2-0, 1 KO), the grandson of famous mob boss John Gotti.
This showdown will headline “Last Names Matter” taking place Sunday, June 11 from FLA Live Arena in Sunrise, Florida in an event that will also feature musical performances from Ozuna and more. The event is dedicated to the loving memory of Marikit “Kitchie” Laurico, Mayweather’s longtime assistant who passed away suddenly in April.
Come on mayweather fight a tougher dude than that. Maybe Rosie O’Donnell.
In June 2005 it was Mayweather vs Gatti! Maybe this one will be more competitive! LOL! Loved Gatti but Mayweather was all wrong for him! Gotti best not look at the ref in the first round!!!
He’s retired, he can fight whomever he pleases. His days of proving himself are over. 50-0 against HOFers and world champions.
Wait, that can’t be the same son that took over The Gambino family when John Gotti went to prison. That guy has got to be 55 years old and was a fat fuck that didn’t look like he worked out a day in his life. John Gotti III has to be his son? Regardless, never heard of him and this is going to be a ridiculous fight.
Gotti III is not junior. He is one of Junior’s sons. I said one. JG3’s brother (Charles) is a made guy, and from what I believe, could be doing time as I type. JG3 wanted to live a normal life. That took great courage. I have nothing but love & respect for JG3.
May might need to take a dive with this one 🙂
John Gotti is 5-1 as an MMA fighter and thank God this is an exhibition boxing match because if it was an MMA fight, Mayweather would get pummelled…
Boxing or MMA, Gotti III would get whacked by Money Mayweather. Even at this point.
Damn straight.
We need to hear what Lucy, the resident boxing expert thinks about this.
“We need to hear what Lucy, the resident boxing expert thinks about this.”
– It’s Lucie, not Lucy.
– Lucie knows boxing, and backs up a lot of posts w/BoxRec stats and facts.
– Seriously??
– April Fools on 4/26??
Best outcome would be a bomb falling on the stadium.
Geez this clown at it again?!
Get a life now little Floyd! Find a hobby or just take a walk now on a short pier..
Most OVERRATED fighter ever little Floyd Mayweather. At least his uncle Roger had balls with a wicked right hand.
I’m not really sure how mayweather can convince himself that people aren’t laughing at him these days. That last event in Britain was virtually empty and who would actually pay to go see something like this. If Floyd wants attention like this why not go back to WWE and be an entertainment feature there?
John Gotti III by ko
“John Gotti III by ko”
– John Gotti III by assassination…..
It’s an exhibition folks, Floyd has already earned his stripes years ago calm down. He can fight whomever he wants. Stop whining and don’t watch if you’re not interested. I guess the appeal is fighting John Gotti’s grandson and the mob possibly telling Floyd to sit down or lay down. A smart selection that his previous fight. We all know John Gotti but the last dude I had no idea who he was. Lets see if more than 50 people show up this time.
this is true??? ahhhh
Let me explain how this work. Gotti’s family is still in the mob. Gotti III elected to live and lead a clean life.
John Gotti III is one of Junior’s kids. JG3’s brother (Charles) is in the mob, and from what I understand, is doing time. TIME. Something Delaware Joe needs to start doing. Anyhow, let’s get back to Gotti III.
The very fact he is out of the mob makes him a real winner in my eyes. I wish him all the best.
John Jr. & Kimberly have 6 kids.
They are Charles Herbert Gotti (mob), Frankie, Gianna, Angel, Nicolette and John III.
John III, of course, is Mayweather’s opponent.
WHO cares!!!
I wonder if Gotti makes Floyd an offer he can’t refuse…
