WBC interim light heavyweight Champion David “El Monstro” Benavidez and WBA regular light heavyweight champion David Morrell Jr. will meet in a battle of two of the sport’s most exciting 175 pounders in the primes of their careers. Benavidez-Morrell headlines a PBC pay-per-view event on Prime Video taking place Saturday, Feb. 1st from T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. Pre-sale tickets are AVAILABLE NOW until 10 p.m. PT through AXS.com by using the code: PBC. The public on sale is scheduled for TOMORROW, Wednesday, Nov. 20 at 10 a.m. PT with tickets available through AXS.com. The co-feature will see WBC featherweight champion Brandon “The Heartbreaker” Figueroa defend his title against former two-belt junior featherweight champion Stephen Fulton Jr. in a rematch of one of 2021’s best fights. The pay-per-view will also feature Mexican star and former world title holder Isaac “Pitbull” Cruz facing Angel Fierro in an all-Mexican junior welterweight duel, plus rising Mexican star Jesus “Mono” Ramos Jr. against former unified junior middleweight champion Jeison Rosario in a ten-round middleweight fight.

“I’m very proud to help deliver this fantastic super fight to the fans,” said Sampson Lewkowicz, who promotes Benavidez. “The boxing world has been anticipating the David Benavidez vs. David Morrell Jr. showdown between these two heated rivals who don’t like each other at all, and now it is here on February 1st. The stakes will be high and both fighters will be in great shape, as the winner will be an interim unified light heavyweight champion, as well as the final mandatory for the WBC and WBA titles. T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas will be packed for this Mexico vs. Cuba matchup for the ages.”
 
“These are two great fighters going against each other in their primes, what could be better?” said Luis DeCubas Sr. of Warriors Boxing (Morrell's promoter). “This is a fight Morrell has wanted for years and we're very happy that these two great young guys are fighting each other now. It's gonna be the aggressive boxer in Benavidez against the boxer-puncher in Morrell. It could very easily turn into a Hagler vs. Hearns type of fight, because both guys can punch and aren't afraid to trade.”
