WBC temporary champion and regular weight champion David Benavides (30-0, 24 KOs) expressed a desire to hold a fight against the champion of WBC, WBA and WBO in the second middle weight of Saul Alvaresa (62-2-2, 39 KO).
Benavides published a post on a social network, in which he called a Mexican to battle.
" It's not about money, but about what sports need now, and we must do this for fans. Without a doubt, this will become the best Mexican fight in the history of boxing.
Let's give fans what they deserve. We are 300 percent confident from this side, but I can’t say the same about the other side, ”Benavides wrote.
Benavides spent his last fight on February 1, when a unanimous decision defeated Morrel.
Potential rivals of Alvarez for the nearest battles were previously named.
