The two-time WBC super middleweight champion, David Benavidez, recently proved his mettle against the former  IBF super middleweight champion, Caleb Plant. At the end of 12 rounds, he was declared the winner by decision. And, in turn, retained his WBC super middleweight title. Meanwhile, there have been speculations about the next big fight in line for him. But, it looks like team Benavidez is adamant about an undisputed fight against Canelo Alvarez.

Benavidez has long eyed a fight against Alvarez. However, Benavidez’s father, Jose Benavidez Sr., strongly believes that Alvarez is ducking ‘The Mexican Monster’.

This was, in fact, a point that he had stressed during the pre-fight presser. When asked about the same, Benavidez Sr. said, “If I was Canelo. If I was his trainer, I would do the same thing. I would run from ‘The Mexican Monster’. And, I would try to ignore that. But, at the end of the day, you know, you can run, you can’t hide.”

He further added, “In order for Canelo to live his legacy, and make history, he already made history. But, everywhere you go, they see Canelo, they ask him about ‘The Mexican Monster’. Everywhere I go they ask me about Canelo.” In the same vein, David Benavidez also made it a point to call out Alvarez after his win against Plant.
