The victory achieved by the Mexican boxer Saúl Canelo Álvarez against the British John Ryder at the Akron Stadium in the city of Guadalajara has become one of the most important sporting events in the Aztec nation; This fact is due to the fact that the fight marked the return of the Guadalajara to the ring of his country to show that he is still one of the best in the world.
Now Canelo Álvarez is in the middle of a recovery process from his fight and is especially working to find a new rival for the fight that he plans to carry out at the end of 2023 and that also counts as his main candidate the Russian Dmitry Bivol. However, there are many other candidates who want to fight against the Colorado and one of these would be his compatriot David Benavidez.
During the celebration for the anniversary of the World Boxing Council (WBC), David Benavidez’s promoter, Sampson Lewkowick, took advantage of his visit to Mexico City to issue a challenge by assuring that his fighter wants with all his might to fight Álvarez for the undisputed Super Middleweight Championship.
To try to convince the Guadalajara of this fight that has been strongly proposed by some of the most iconic boxing figures in Mexico, Benavidez’s promoter assured that the fight would have many profits and that it could even represent one of the most important sums of money in the history of Cinnamon
“I know Canelo very well, and I know that he is not afraid of anyone, more than God, but I am sure that it will be the most successful fight in boxing history. There was no talk of a mandatory (fight), because I think Canelo Álvarez is bigger than a mandatory, everything will be in his hands, he will have to make that decision, but I clarify: we are talking about a very large sum, Possibly it is one of the greatest that he has had in his career, ”he told the Izquierdazo portal.
This conversation was held with the coach and right-hand man of Saúl Álvarez, Eddy Reynoso, to whom he offered a sum of money that would be quite difficult to refuse; Sampson explained that his fighter would receive only 10% of the profits and the rest would go to Canelo Álvarez.
“I was talking with Eddy and he was sent a very honorable written proposal, possibly one of the largest that Canelo has received, without a doubt we hope he reads it well, his legacy will remain intact for all the Mexican people, and that he really If he decides to fight (Dimitri) Bivol, he is within his rights. David is going to charge maybe 10% of what Canelo can charge. I leave everything in the hands of Eddy Reynoso, it is a very honorable offer, very substantial, extremely substantial, ”he recounted.
“I don’t expect him to answer it right away, but it is more difficult for the fight against Bivol to take place, because of the weight he has, and the distance he has,” concluded Lewkowick.
