  "account": "Dave Coldwell, a British trainer, expressed his opinion on a possible matchup between Ukrainian boxer Oleksandr Usyk and unbeaten world champion David Benavidez, according to Boxing News on November 8. Coldwell praised Usyk's decision to challenge the undefeated Benavidez, noting that it is a significant fight that showcases Usyk's determination and skill. He acknowledged that Usyk, now 39 years old, is taking on a daunting task by fighting against Benavidez, who is considered an intimidating opponent for veterans. Coldwell admitted that he is concerned about Usyk's ability to lose weight while maintaining his strength and sharpness, as he has gained muscle mass while transitioning to the heavyweight division. Usyk recently announced his intention to return to the cruiserweight division and fight Benavidez, while Benavidez is scheduled to face world champion Michał Cieślak in a rematch on December 5 in Phoenix, Arizona.",
