On April 21, according to the US boxing media, the former WBA featherweight world boxing champion "monster" Xu Can will return to the ring in Florida, USA, against 24-year-old Mexican boxer Benitez, nicknamed "Cubs". At that time, Xu Can will appear as a vice-main, and the main event of the night will be attended by Meng Fanlong, China's light heavyweight brother and IBF 175-pound legal challenger, and Meng Fanlong's opponent is the famous former world light heavyweight overlord Jean Pascal.
The 28-year-old Xu Can is the third men's world boxing champion after Xiong Chaozhong and Zou Shiming in the mainland, and since winning the WBA featherweight gold belt in January 2019, Xu Can has defended his title twice in a row, sharing the number of wins in the world gold belt battle with big brother Xiong Chaozhong, and tied for first place in China. However, in the third defending battle on August 1 last year, Xu Can was KO by the British Wood in the last moment of the 12th round, losing the golden belt that had been in control for two and a half years, and since then, Chinese professional boxing has returned to the era of "0 boxing king".
Now, Xu Can, who has been washed away by lead, has been able to look down on gains and losses, and after reflecting on the lessons of the defeat with the M23 team, the boxing leader who is in the current year of fighting is determined to make a comeback and vow to regain the lost honor, and the first comeback on May 20 is the first step to recover the lost land.
This time Xu Can's opponent Benitez is 170 cm tall, arm span 173 cm, the current professional record is 18 wins, 2 losses and 7 KO opponents, and the two games lost are all defeated by KO, but Benitez has recently won 4 consecutive wins, the state has a certain recovery, and threatened to pass this game to make people shine.
Judging from the quality of benitez's past opponents, his victory number of games is far less golden than Xu Can, and many opponents are professional new dings or win less and lose more, so the persuasiveness of 18 wins is not strong. Although Xu Can is not a heavy gunner, his physical fitness is surprisingly good, and he has set a world record of 1562 featherweights in a single game.
From all indications, this battle is just a transition game for Xu Can to warm up and find a state, and winning should not be a big problem, and it is not impossible to win with KO. As for what kind of performance Xu Can will have at that time, let's wait and see!
