The Cuba-born Morrell, who lives in Minneapolis, has been a dominant boxer since turning pro in 2019. Even the two fights that reached the judges’ cards were one-sided in the 27-year-old’s favor. That includes his most recent out, a 117-111, 118-110, 117-117 victory over Radivoje Kalajdzic on Aug. 3 to win the championship.“I’m 100% knocking out David Benavidez,” Morrell said through an interpreter.

“I’m going to beat the out of you and I hope you have no excuses because you look scared as right now,” Benavidez said. “You can smile and do all the you want, but when you step into the ring this Saturday, that’s ‘El Monstro’s’ world and you’re going to see exactly what the I’m made of.” Similar words were exchanged between Davis and Garcia until the fight ended. Then nothing but respect.
