David Benavidez and David Morrell are ready to throw hands with their in-ring encounter still more than a month away.
The two are set to face off in a light heavyweight title fight on Feb. 1, but at an open workout in Miami on Tuesday, Benavidez and Morrell had a heated exchange that nearly broke out into a brawl.
Benavidez shoved Morrell after a faceoff, and Morrell responded by raising his WBA title high and hurling it at Benavidez, who ducked the throw.
