Anthony Yarde is 100% convinced that he can knock out David Benavidez on November 22 and take the World Boxing Council (WBC) 175-pound title from him. in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

In an interview with The Ring magazine, Yarde knows he's the underdog in the betting, but he's confident his power can make the difference and put the Mexican Monster in a difficult position.

"One hundred percent (he can knock out Benavidez). I'll be the underdog, but they know I'm one of them. Everyone will be excited to see what happens," he declared.

Let's remember that after Dmitry Bivol decided to vacate his WBC belt, the Mexican-American became absolute champion and expressed that he was interested in fighting Callum Smith or Anthony Yarde.

It was expected that Smith - interim 175-pound champion of the WBO- was set to be David Benavidez's next opponent after his promoters and the British fighter himself had confirmed negotiations between both teams, but this has since changed.

In the end, it was Yarde who won the challenger spot and this will be his third opportunity to try to become world champion. The Mexican Monster, on the other hand, will be making his first title defense after dominating David Morrell in his last appearance in the ring last February.

According to experts, Anthony Yarde is one of the most dangerous challengers Benavidez will face at 175 pounds due to his power. Despite this, the Mexican-American remains the favorite to take the win.

Anthony Yarde, 33, is coming off a victory over Lyndor Arthur last April and could now be crowned WBC light heavyweight champion. The English fighter has 27 wins (24 by knockout) and three losses.

Meanwhile, David Benavidez, 29, won the WBA regular 175-pound belt from David Morrell after defeating him on the judges' scorecards. The Mexican Monster has a record of 30 wins, 24 of them by knockout, and no losses in his professional career.
