David Benavidez Targeted for December Return Against Michal Cieslak

Following the collapse of negotiations for a fight with Mikaelian, organizers are finalizing a new opponent for Benavidez. The event is expected to take place in the fighter's home region. Cieslak, who holds an interim WBC title, has emerged as the primary candidate to face Benavidez. Both camps are working to finalize the details for this late-year showdown.
