After a convincing victory over Demetrius Andrade, David Benavidez was officially confirmed as Canelo Alvarez’s mandatory challenger. However, if the undefeated super middleweight champion doesn’t want to give him the chance, the man known as “Red Flag” has other ideas and potential opponents in mind for the 2024 fight.
Benavidez was motivated to prove to Canelo that he is worthy of a fight on Saturday night in Las Vegas. In order to win by technical knockout, he wounded, subdued, and ultimately forced his opponent to quit the fight. If he was already thought to be the opponent who would face Canelo, then he made another crucial move to ensure the fight took place.

I’m just going to beat everybody they put in front of me, I’m the best in the division with Canelo or without Canelo… we’re going to give the people what they want, Canelo,” he said to the cheers of those present at the Michelob Ultra Arena in Las Vegas.
