David Benavidez is slowly resurrecting his boxing run by going toe-to-toe against some stern opponents. Until now, the undefeated boxer has fought across many weight classes. But his prime success came in when decided to compete at the super-middleweight roster.

This year, too, he fought Ronald Ellis and claimed a sensational win to put out a cosmic statement in the 168-pound division. But all of a sudden, ‘El Bandera Roja’ is looking to move down and compete in the middleweight landscape.

In this roster, ‘El Bandera Roja’ wants to challenge Jermall Charlo.

As of now, Benavidez has a fight in the pipeline. On August 28, he will face Jose Uzcategui in a 12-round super-middleweight contest.

He even showed a strong pursuit in order to claim a fight with the Mexican boxing icon. However, Canelo is currently on a mission to achieve all the super-middleweight titles. And before that, he won’t look to box anyone else.

That said, Benavidez might have figured the same and concluded that he might not get to fight Canelo so soon.
