Most boxing fans are eager to see Canelo take on fellow Mexican David Benavidez Jr., who has recorded 24 knockouts in his 29-0 record.

Unfortunately for him, the fight failed to excite Canelo.

About Benavidez, he recently told Fight Hub TV: “Maybe it’s one of the biggest fights, who knows.

“But you know, he doesn’t bring anything to me, he just brings £25 the night of the fight.

“I think if any promoter, not him because he is not in a position to offer me any money, I am the one who is eligible for it, but if any promoter that I work with, if they offer $150 million-$200 million, I would fight tomorrow.

“That’s the only reason I fight him, he only comes in 25 pounds heavier.”

“There’s no pressure to fight, I don’t need to fight anybody, I don’t need to prove anything to anybody because I remember when that happened with Golovkin. I don’t need to prove anything to anybody.”
