David Benavidez is looking for a new opponent after his cruiserweight unification fight with Noel Mikaelian has fallen through. Now 29 years old, Benavidez is the former two-time super middleweight champion and current WBC light heavyweight champion. He then moved up to cruiserweight in May and knocked out Gilberto Ramirez in six rounds to claim the WBA and WBO world titles. Per a new post on X by Abraham Gonzalez, it seems as though Benavidez is now set to instead fight Polish cruiserweight Michal Cieslak. “🚨Developing🚨 Sources tell @FightsATW that unified cruiserweight champion David Benavidez is set to face interim WBC champion Michal Cieslak in November or December.
