This fight offers both fighters a shot at the vacant WBO International middleweight title.

With both fighters hungry for recognition, here’s our Bentley vs Dignum prediction. 

Bentley vs Dignum Prediction: Can Dignum Spoil Bentley’s Title Ambition?

Denzel Bentley Preview 

Denzel Bentley’s recent form paints a picture of a fighter both resilient and seeking redemption.  He has won three of his last five bouts, showcasing his knockout power with a pair of stoppages. However, a points loss to Nathan Heaney in November 2023 has somewhat halted his momentum. This setback came after a dominant first-round knockout of Kieran Smith just a few months prior.  

His hunger for a world title was evident in his challenge against Janibek Alimkhanuly in November 2022, though it resulted in a unanimous decision defeat.  Prior to that, he successfully defended his British title with a stoppage win over Marcus Morrison.  

Bentley’s grit was also on display in a close split-decision victory against Linus Udofia in May 2022. This rollercoaster ride of results sets the stage for a pivotal fight against Dignum, where Bentley will look to reignite his title dreams. 

Can Bentley finally become an international champion? We’ll have a better understanding of his chances once we analyze his opponent. The next part of our Denzel Bentley vs Danny Dignum prediction will shed light on Danny Dignum. 

Danny Dignum Preview 

Danny Dignum is a fighter who is not afraid to trade punches.  Like his Saturday night opponent, Dignum has also emerged victorious in three of his last five fights. However, his last fight against Janibek Alimkhanuly in May 2022 ended abruptly, with Dignum succumbing to a second-round knockout in a WBO Interim World Middleweight title shot.  

He had displayed grit in his previous outing, earning a technical knockout win over Grant Dennis in February 2022.  Dignum’s path to this fight hasn’t been all victories.  In April 2021, he battled Andrey Sirotkin to a split draw.  

But tenacity has been a hallmark of the Essex man’s career, evident in his come-from-behind stoppage victories against Alfredo Meli in 2020 and Conrad Cummings in 2019.  Now, stepping back into the ring after a year’s absence, Dignum will be looking to reignite his own championship aspirations. What does our Bentley vs Dignum prediction say about his title prospects? Let’s find out. 

Denzel Bentley vs Danny Dignum Prediction: Bentley the Man to Beat

Our official Denzel Bentley vs Danny Dingum prediction is that Denzel Bentley will win. 

Both boxers seem to be on a similar vein of form lately, but Bentley has been fighting more frequently and the rustiness could cost Dignum severely. 

Dignum is a powerful puncher, but Bentley has the technical acumen to survive an early onslaught and grind out a win by decision. We also expect the fight to go the distance.
