David Banavidez said in an interview that he believed he could attract Canelo Alvarez to 175 to face him by defeating David Morrell on Saturday, February 1 and then defeating the winner of Artur Bererbiev against Dmitry Biblical 2 to become undisputed champion.
Benavidez believes Biblical will defeat Betterbiev in their re -broadcast on February 22, and he is confident that he can defeat him from the sparring he did with him.
With view of Morrell
It is thought that Benavidez (29-0, 24 COs) eventually stopped trying to get the Canelo battle, but he revealed on Tuesday that he still thinks it will happen.
“One day I knew they would ask for the fight, and today it is surprising how much attention the battle gets,” David Benavidez said All the smoke about a fight between him and Canelo Alvarez.
“I think I’m winning more with him now to turn it off because people see. They offered him $ 70 million to fight against me. That’s before I fight against me. Imagine PPV. What Canelo does is that he pays guys. They offered me $ 5 million. I said, “Cool.” We agreed and said, “Yes,” and then we never heard again.
“They called out the bait. They wanted to see if I would say yes or no. They called out the bait. They thought I was going to say, “No, I’m not going to fight for $ 5 million.” This battle is worth more. So I called their bluff and said, “Yes,” and this is the last time I heard about the struggle, “Benavidez says.
David should not focus on a fight against Canelo Alvarez at the moment, because he has a risky fight against Morrell this Saturday. In addition, Canelo has shown no interest in fighting David, and he seems to choose fighters who interest him.
‘But this struggle is inevitable. Everyone asks for it. This is the biggest struggle that could be fed, ”Benavidez said of a fight between him and Canelo. “I’m not afraid of Canelo. I feel like I can hit him. This is basically what I did with David Morrell.
“David Morrell talked a lot and said I couldn’t hit him, and what do I do? I go to him. This is what a true champion should do. If I sit here and tell Canelo that I can knock him out and hit him, why doesn’t he come to me and make a lot of money? That’s what he’s doing now. He fights more easily and earns $ 30 million. When he fights against me, he makes it triple. So make it meaningful.
“I feel like he knows it’s the hardest fight, and in his head he may know he could lose. That’s what I know. I know that for a fact. That’s why he doesn’t take this battle. I don’t think he’s afraid of me. He will fight against me, but he knows if he loses this battle, he will probably retire. So it’s a big ashes for me.
Canelo’s “bait”
“My plan is now beating David Morrell. If I win the undisputed title in this way, I can attract a battle with Canelo. Maybe we can do a catch weight at 172. I don’t know if they would allow it, ‘says Benavidez.
It sounds like a fraudulent pipe dream of benavidez, talking about beating Morrell, and then becoming undisputed at 175. Banavidez thinks he can attract Canelo to lift heavyweight to fight against him, which has very little chance to happen. Canelo is not going to fight against anyone who is going to heavier on the night of the fight with 25 pounds. He just did it against Edgar Berlanga and had a difficult time.
“It would be the highest paid battle of all boxing. It is possible that this may happen. Tyson Fury got $ 150 million. USYK amounted to $ 150 million. I think Canelo puts the price out there and lets people know what the cost is. Now, you see, he met Turki al-Sheikh, ”says Benavidez.
I don’t see Turki pay Canelo $ 150 million to fight benavidez. It does not sound realistic, especially after Benavdiez lost to Morrell. If someone is going to get a huge offer, it’s Morrell.
“So I think we’re in a good position now. I always keep my mind about My opponent before me. We don’t think of Canelo right now. We think of David Morrell, and then we will win the undisputed title, ”says Benavidez.
‘The Mexican Monster’ sounds like he didn’t wear his head correctly, because he looked out clearly at Morrell, who may not just hit him, but knocked him out in the process. But if Benavidez does win this battle, he will have many trouble beating undisputed light heavyweight champion Artur better Biev if he is the one ending with the belts after his fight against Dmitri Biblical on February 22 in their Rematch in Rematch in Riyadh.
