                        David Benavidez has no interest in super middleweight showdown with Terence Crawford: 'I'm done at 168'

In a recent interview, David Benavidez, the current WBC light heavyweight champion, has expressed no interest in a super middleweight showdown with Terence Crawford. Benavidez, who will be defending his title against Anthony Yarde on November 22, has stated that he is "done at 168" pounds and has no plans to return to the super middleweight division. Benavidez has been a dominant force in the super middleweight division, holding the WBC title twice. However, he has now set his sights on the light heavyweight category and believes that he has the potential to become a star in the division. The upcoming fight against Yarde is seen as an important step in Benavidez's journey to establish himself as a force to be reckoned with in the light heavyweight division. While a potential matchup between Benavidez and Crawford would have been an intriguing and highly anticipated bout, Benavidez's decision to focus on the light heavyweight division suggests that he is determined to chart his own path and pursue new challenges.
