Turki Alalshikh, the chairman of the General Entertainment Authority of Saudi Arabia and the most powerful man in boxing, posted on Twitter that David Benavidez (pictured) will defend his WBC light heavyweight world title against Great Britain's Anthony Yarde as he makes his Riyadh Season debut in November. At 30-0, Benavidez is a three-time champion who lost his prior two titles outside the ring. His last fight was a career-best performance, a thrilling defeat of David Morrell in February. Yarde is 27-3 and has failed in title bids against Sergey Kovalev and Artur Beterbiev. In Yarde's last fight, he avenged his only other loss, defeating Lyndon Arthur by decision in April.
