News about David Benavidez

2023 may have been a breakthrough year for modern-day boxing in an age where the game is often mocked for barely pitting its top fighters up against each other. Although the wait for an undisputed heavyweight champion continues, although perhaps not for much longer with Tyson Fury vs. Oleksandr Usyk penciled in for February, boxing enthusiasts have been treated to more elite-level matchups in the last 12 months than those in previous years, which will only bode well for the future. So what super-fights are there to be made in 2024? Five fights we want to see happen next year have been ranked by Dailymail.com, and it's likely that they will go forward.

On Saturday night, David Benavidez wiped out Demetrius Andrade in a chilling fashion before handing over the gauntlet to Canelo Alvarez. Benavidez, the former middleweight and light-middleweight world champion who was fighting his way to a six-round victory against Andrade, the former middleweight and light-middleweight world champion who was billed as one of his career to date, won a six-round statement contest against him on his second appearance at 168 pounds. It was the latter who got off to a good start in Las Vegas and arguably banked the first three rounds as he displayed precisely the kind of boxing prowess the sport's diehard followers know he has in the locker.

David Benavidez, Demetrius Andrade, and David Morrell have been selected as the three fighters who might give Canelo Alvarez the most for his money, according to Eddie Hearn. Canelo last battled on September 30, winning by a landslide victory (119-108, 118-109, and 118-109) over Jermell Charlo, the undisputed champion at 154 pounds.

On Saturday night, Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez defended his disputed super middle-weight crown, defeating John Ryder by a unanimous vote. At the Akron Stadium, it was a brave effort by the English fighter, who stood in front of 50,000 people in Guadala, Mexico, against Alvarez. The match was scored 120-107 on one card and 118-109 on the other two scores, with Alvarez winning by 58-2-2 in his professional career.

Following Saturday's title defense over 168-pound challenger John Ryder, Canelo Alvarez wasn't shy about denying out light heavyweight champion Dmitry Bivol. 'Everybody knows, we want Bivol,' Alvarez said in the ring after his unanimous decision victory over Ryder on Saturday in his native Guadalajara. We'll know if the bivolious battle doesn't take place.' Alvarez may face David Benavidez at super middleweight, according to promoter Eddie Hearn, who recently defended his WBC interim title over Caleb Plant. But Canelo is clearly more concentrated on Bivol, and is considering a match with the undefeated Russian (20-0, 11 KOs) on September 16, which is also remembered on Mexican Independence Day.

On Saturday night in Las Vegas, David Benavidez defeated Caleb Plant by unanimous decision, becoming Canelo Alvarez's only challenger for the super middleweight championship. In the second stage of the competition, the WBC interim champion got off to a good win on the judges' scorecards, 115-113, 116-112, and 117-111. Despite the late onslaught, plant remarkable refused to go down, as Benavidez tried to depose his opponent, despite the fact that the battle was still in the works.

BARCLAYS CENTER's ALEX RASKIN: The Caleb Plant is most well known. The 30-year-old returned to action in the WBC super middleweight title eliminator against Anthony Dirrell, looking to make a'statement,' one year after suffering his first career defeat to Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez on Saturday. Since losing the former champion with a left hook, I was in complete control the entire time.' Plant (22-12) said, 'I was in complete command the whole time.' 'Then boom, baby!"

Canelo Alvarez returned to winning ways on Saturday as he boxed his way to a unanimous points victory over Gennady Golovkin to bring an end to their trilogy. The first two contests between the pair featured debatable decisions by the judges, with many fans predicting Golovkin to win at least one of them, but there was no doubt who was the better man on the night. However, Canelo was still far from his best. He had been on a roller coaster up to light-heavyweight to top Sergey Kovalev before crashing out the super-middleweight division in less than a year.
