David Morrell Claims He’s The Father Of David Benavidez

David Morrell has taken aim at David Benavidez.

Morrell is the undefeated WBA “regular” super middleweight champion and has taken shots at Benavidez. The undefeated Benavidez is the WBC interim champion and a fight between the two would be big but Benavidez recently called out Jaime Munguia which is disappointing news for Morrell.

“From here on out my new nickname is ‘The Monster.’ I will be referred to as father of Team Benevidez,” said Morrell (h/t BoxingScene).

David Morrell is currently 9-0 and coming off a first-round knockout of Yamaguchi Falcao to retain his title for the fifth time. The 25 year old Cuban is considered one of the best prospects in all of boxing and he wanted to test himself against David Benavidez but is frustrated that Benavidez won’t take the risk.

“Jose Sr. does not want the fight. He talks a lot, but he clearly wants to fight Munguia as seen in all his recent interviews. The loudmouth son Jose Jr. hasn’t said a word either. So, I want small man Jose to come out publicly and say he is scared of the Monster Morrell. I’m giving you 24 hours to tell the world the truth little guy. Or I will do an interview daily about the cowards they call the Benevidez’. Your name is Red Flag maybe because you run when there is danger. Don’t use my name anymore, cancel all your merchandise and stop lying to people. I’m the real Monster,” Morrell said.

“My message to Benavidez is…I”m ready for all those bitches. Grow some balls, and let’s give the fans the fight they want to see. Your family name is a disgrace,” Morrell added.
