PBC on Prime Video fight card: David Benavidez vs. Oleksandr Gvozdyk among best undercard fights to watch

Gervonta Davis is among boxing’s biggest stars. “Tank” seeks to improve his status and improve to a perfect 30-0 against a match opponent, undefeated boxer Frank Warren. The WBA lightweight title is on the line in Saturday’s main event, but it’s far from the only belt at stake.

Three additional championship fights round out the four-fight main card. David Benavidez is another big name on the Las Vegas card. “The Mexican Monster” moves on from a highly desired Saul “Canelo” Alvarez showdown to fight Oleksandr Gvozdyk for the interim WBC 175-pound championship and a potential undisputed showdown against Dmitry Bivol or Artur Beterbiev. Additionally, Gary Antuanne Russell and Carlos Adames are also involved in the title fights.

Take a look at three can’t-miss fights on the Tank vs. Tank undercard. Martin.

David Benavidez vs Oleksandr Gvozdyk

It’s getting harder and harder to say David Benavidez without thinking about Canelo. The super middleweight champion’s undisputed lack of interest in fighting Benavidez is ruffling feathers, but Benavidez has other ambitions to pursue. Benavidez (28-0, 24 KOs) fights former WBC light heavyweight champion Oleksandr Gvozdyk (20-1, 16 KOs) for the WBC interim light heavyweight belt. It’s a world-class match that leads to greater things for the victor. The chairman of Saudi Arabia’s general entertainment authority, Turki Alalshikh, has expressed interest in booking Benavidez against the winner of Bivol – the only man to beat Alvarez in a decade – and Beterbiev, the only person to defeat Gvozdyk. A fight for the undisputed 175-pound title hangs over this meeting between elite boxers with reliable knockout power.

Gary Antuanne Russell x Alberto Puello

Russell (17-0, 17 KOs) is ready to leave the shadow of his older brother, former WBC featherweight champion Gary Russell Jr. Russell’s younger brother fights for the interim WBC super lightweight championship, looking to add his name into the mix of the star-studded 140-pound division alongside Ryan Garcia, Devin Haney and Teofimo Lopez Jr. No one has survived the young Russell’s power and technique to date. Still, it will take a lot to knock out his opponent this weekend. Puello (22-0, 10 KOs) is the champion in the break, coming off a six-month suspension after testing positive for a performance-enhancing substance. What Puello lacks in power, he makes up for with a proven ability to win in the long run. It’s exactly the test Russell needs to level up.

Carlos Adames x Terrell Gausha

WBC middleweight champion Adames (23-1, 18 KOs) enters his fifth year as champion. Former title challenger Gausha (24-3-1, 12 KOs) aims to right a wrong after failing in his first title fight seven years ago against Erislandy Lara. Adames is a big betting favorite, but his 78% knockout rate will be tested against a man whose chin has remained high in 28 professional fights. Gausha has fallen short of the best, but he is always a game competitor. Gausha’s most recent loss was against Tim Tsyzu in 2022, but he notably knocked Tsyzu down in the first round. Adames must be careful when applying pressure in search of a finish. The current champion is six years younger and has more physical gifts, but Gausha should not be forgotten.
