Xu Can
- Odd: –
- Fights:21
- Victories: 18
- Victories by KO: 3
- Defeats: 3
- Draws: 0
Nicknamed Monster, Xu Can turned pro in 2016 and three years later he already had in his hands the World Boxing Association featherweight world champion belt, which he conquered in Houston, by points, against Puerto Rican Jesús Rojas.
Born in China 28 years ago, he successfully retained the crown twice in 2019, against Japan’s Shun Kubo and American Manny Robles III.
After two years of inactivity due to the pandemic, he returned to the rings in 2021, in England, where local fighter Leigh Wood knocked him out in the last round and took his title. Now, he is trying to get back on the path that will lead him to a chance to win it back.
Brandon Benítez
- Odd: –
- Fights: 20
- Victories: 18
- Victories by KO: 7
- Defeats: 2
- Draws: 0
Brandon Benítez is a native of Querétaro, Mexico, where he began boxing at the age of 16 in 2014. Now, at 24, he is the owner of good experience in the ring.
In 2019 he had the opportunity to conquer the WBO Latin bantamweight title but was thwarted in his attempt when he lost by KO to American Saul Sanchez. Since then, he reeled off four consecutive victories to reposition himself at featherweight. The clash with China’s Can Xu is crucial in his aspirations to climb the rankings and get bigger fights.
JefeBet Prediction
Although Brandon Benítez arrives on a positive streak with four consecutive wins, the Chinese Can Xu is shown as a fighter who has already had enough experience in the first level, so in a duel of great parity he takes a light advantage to win from the judges’ scorecards.
Prediction: Xu Can wins by points.
