Dmitry Bivol has a chance to take a big fight against David Benavidez. A new financial offer of $8 million has been made to him. This comes after earlier attempts to set up a match fell through. Bivol is a popular boxer in the light heavyweight division, but he must choose wisely for his next fight. The WBC wants him to defend his title against Benavidez. If Bivol does not agree to the fight, he could lose his championship belt. There is a deadline for negotiations soon. If Bivol decides to fight again with Artur Beterbiev instead of Benavidez, he could face complications. He must either negotiate to step aside or give up his title. His options are currently limited. Promoters are also playing a role in the decision process. Mauricio Sulaiman from WBC mentioned how significant the new offer is compared to Bivol's last earnings of $2.7 million against Beterbiev. Meanwhile, Sampson Lewkowicz, another promoter, believes they have a solid plan to stage the fight in Las Vegas. Bivol faces great pressure to make a decision. Choosing not to fight Benavidez could have serious consequences for his career. All eyes are on Bivol as he considers his next move.
