Biography:
David Benavidez, known as “The Mexican Monster,” is a 27-year-old American professional boxer hailing from Phoenix, Arizona, born on December 17, 1996. He has a notable career in the super-middleweight division, having held the world championship title.
Benavidez commenced his professional boxing journey at the age of 16 on August 17, 2013, with a victorious debut against Erasmo Mendoza, securing a 1st round KO.
At the age of 20, with 18 professional fights under his belt, Benavidez contested his first world title bout on September 8, 2017, against Ronald Gavril for the vacant super-middleweight WBC title. He clinched victory via a 12-round split decision, thus claiming the super-middleweight championship.
Throughout his career, Benavidez has remained undefeated, holding two world titles in the super-middleweight category. His most recent fight, a non-title bout against fellow American boxer Demetrius Andrade on November 25, 2023, ended with Benavidez securing victory via 6th round RTD.
