Osvary David Morrell Gutierrez Jr. is a rising star who has skyrocketed his place at the top of the super middleweight and light heavyweight division. With just 11 fights under his name, Morrell has already won two “regular” titles and is destined to be a superstar across both divisions. With the biggest fight of his career against David Benavidez less than a week away, a win will put him in a powerful position to challenge for the undisputed lightweight championship.

Furthermore, a move back to 168lbs also looks viable considering he still has lots of high-profile matchups left there. With the future as uncertain and thrilling as Morrell’s, fans have much to be excited about. We asked AI, specifically ChatGPT 4.o for a prediction on the 27-year-old’s career future. Let’s take a look.

ChatGPT divided the WBA Light Heavyweight “Regular” Champion’s career into three parts.

2025-2027: Unification at Super Middleweight

According to AI, the Santa Clara native will move back to 168lbs after his fight against David Benavidez on February 1. A fight in which the AI prefers him over The Mexican Monster. Morrell is going to dominate the division with fights against the likes of Demetrius Andrade, Jermall Charlo, Edgar Berlanga, Caleb Plant, and Canelo Alvarez if he is still active.

Surprisingly, according to AI Prediction, David Morrell is going to sweep up the 168 division eventually unifying the titles. Not only that, he might even solidify himself as one of the most dominant super middleweights of all time.

What’s your perspective on:

Can David Morrell Jr. truly dominate two divisions, or is this prediction too ambitious?

Have an interesting take?

2028-2030: Move to Light Heavyweight

Eventually, Osvary will move back up to 175lbs to complete his unfinished task. The Santa Clara native has already won one title in Light Heavyweight in just one fight. However, this time, he would stay in the division for far longer. With opponents like Dmitry Bivol, Artur Beterbiev (if still active), or other rising stars like Joshua Buatsi or Callum Smith, Morrell will try to compete with the best.

It will be another dominant phase in the 27-year-old’s career as he will show his power and versatility against tougher competition. As he will mature physically, he might even challenge for a world title at 175lbs and become a champion here as well.

2031-2033: Closing Career with Legacy Fights

This will be the last phase of David Morrell’s career, where he will fight for legacy rather than titles. He could go for possible superfights against younger, hyped prospects at the time. He could even target a big payday or could go for a final unification bout for his light heavyweight title.

Predicted Record at Retirement

David Morrell will definitely be a force to reckon with by the end of his career. He would become a name that every fan would want to see on a PPV. However, losses might come later in his career as he ventures around two divisions against the best fighters. According to AI prediction, Morrell is going to end his career at 40-2 with 28 KOs. His technical prowess, strong ring IQ, and astonishing power leading to 70% KO victories will define his legacy.

A title unification bout at the super middleweight or light heavyweight division where Morrell beats a dominant champion like David Benavidez or Dmitry Bivol will be his career highlight. It will get him to the top of the Pound-for-Pound rankings, a list that he will dominate for a long time.

Which titles will David Morrell win?

Morrell has already won two “regular” world titles. As he will move forward in his career, more accolades will follow. AI predicts Morrell to win multiple titles at 168lbs. He will either unify 2 to 3 belts or can even sweep up all four titles to become the undisputed super middleweight champion. He will be the second fighter after Canelo Alvarez to get the undisputed status in this weight class.

Predictions show that, while his dominance will be less than 175 pounds, he will still win at least two light heavyweight titles. He is most likely to hold the WBA title as he is already the WBA “Regular” champion. His peak will be the four years from 2025 to 2029 where he will rack up victories and titles for fun. He will dominate two divisions back-to-back in this period, establishing himself as the top fighter.

Fans will remember him for his outstanding performances against the best both divisions had to offer. But will his career be Hall of Fame worthy? Well, according to AI’s verdict, it will surely be a Hall Of Fame-worthy career. If David Morrell achieves unification of undisputed status at 168lbs, or even becomes a two-division world champion, with his skills, titles, performances, and records, he will get a sport into the International Boxing Hall of Fame.

Furthermore, his Cuban amateur background with nearly 50 victories, combined with his stellar pro career, will solidify his legacy as one of the best fighters of the modern era. While AI has predicted David Morrell to have to have a legendary career. However, at this point, he needs to win his February 1 bout against David Benavidez. A loss here can derail every prediction and his plans for his future. Do you think David Morrell’s career will pan out like this? Let us know your thoughts down below.
