David Benavidez-David Morrell live updates, results and analysis

David Benavidez takes on David Morrell on Saturday, in the main event of a boxing card at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas (PBC PPV on Prime Video, 6 p.m. ET).

Benavidez (29-0, 24 KOs) is the WBC light heavyweight interim titleholder, while Morrell (11-0, 9 KOs) enters the fight as the WBA light heavyweight "regular" champion. Artur Beterbiev is the undisputed champion at 175 pounds.

Benavidez has been lobbying for a fight against super middleweight champion Canelo Alvarez for years, but after many tries, Benavidez moved up in weight. In his first fight at light heavyweight he defeated Oleksandr Gvozdyk by unanimous decision.

"I'm excited to really showcase my skills in this fight," Benavidez said during an open workout in Las Vegas in early January. "I had a lot of injuries and adversity going into the [Gvozdyk] fight, but I went in there against one of the best in the world and showed I have a lot of heart.

"The way I fight, I always try to take my opponents out. It doesn't mean you always get it, but we're definitely going to be pushing for it. David Morrell has made it personal for me."

Following a successful amateur career, Morrell turned professional in August 2019. After scoring nine KOs in his first 10 fights, Morrell went the distance against Radivoje Kalajdzic on the Terence Crawford vs. Israil Madrimov undercard in in August. Morrell is looking for the seventh consecutive defense of his WBA belt.

"Benavidez is considered one of the most dangerous fighters in boxing, so when I beat him, everyone will see what I'm capable of," Morrell said during a training session in Stafford, Texas, in January. "People call him 'The Mexican Monster', but I'm not scared of monsters -- I hunt them down. He's never faced someone like me, and come fight night, he's going to realize that I'm faster, stronger and smarter than anyone he's ever stepped in the ring with."
