Demetrius Andrade has been on the receiving end of a lot of flak in recent years. With a stellar record of 32 undefeated fights, the boxer vacated his WBO middleweight title in April last year. His mandatory challenger, Janibek Alimkhanuly, was however ready for the bout. But Andrade decided to move up the weights to challenge Zach Parker.

However, the fight was rescheduled for the interim WBO middleweight title. But leaving this fight behind, too, he decided to defend his title against John Ryder. After having navigated this entire path of turbulent matchups, Andrade has finally narrowed down on a new fighter, and rumors suggest it is David Benavidez. 

Demetrius Andrade gets his big fight 

Andrade is just one fight away from getting his dream fight against pound-for-pound fighter, Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez. However, standing in his way is 26-year-old David Benavidez. His opponent comes with a stellar record of 27-0 and has earlier defended his title against David Lemieux and Caleb Plant. Reports have further emerged that the two fighters are in the last leg of negotiations.

In a video, Andrade can be seen trying his hands on different knockout combinations as his fight against Benavidez inches closer. The video has pushed fans to ponder on their predictions for the upcoming matchup
