David “El Monstro” Benavidez continued his rise to the top of the Light Heavyweight division with a bruising unanimous decision victory over Cuba's Morrell on Saturday night from T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.

With the victory, Benavidez says he wants to unify all four titles as he retains his Interim WBC Light Heavyweight Title and picks up the WBA Light Heavyweight Title.

Benavidez has a guaranteed ringside seat to the undisputed rematch between Artur Beterbiev and Dmitry Bivol, which takes place on February 23rd in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

Beterbiev currently holds the IBF, and WBO Light Heavyweight titles.

With the victory over Morrell, Benavidez is the mandatory challenger to the winner.

Benavidez says he just wants to be the best of his era, adding whoever he need to fight next, he will be ready for them.
