A decisive win over Demond Nicholson provided him with an initial experience, but facing Benavidez will elevate his career. His priority is to pursue the best option, which is facing Canelo. “Of course, I’m gonna do what’s best and that’s put the cherry on the cake and that’s Canelo but if Canelo don’t wanna tango, he has all the right not to.” said ‘BooBoo’. However, he understands if Canelo chooses not to engage, that’s entirely within his rights. He is also open to a rematch with Benavidez, depending on how things unfold this Saturday.

Andrade hopes that the pressure from both the public and fans could potentially influence Canelo. All roads in the super middleweight division seemingly lead to Canelo Alvarez, the undisputed champion whose greatness extends beyond the weight class. Yet, Canelo’s side journeys to enhance his legacy have left top contenders hanging in uncertainty.
