The “Mexican Monster” rose to 200 pounds on May 2 to obtain the cruise title in Las Vegas. Benavídez's team affirms that the boxer will alternate his participation between light heavyweight and cruiserweight. However, Canelo Álvarez perceives real difficulties in this tonnage cut.

During a recent meeting with the media in Egypt, the man from Guadalajara was consulted about this sporting scenario. "I don't think I can give 175 pounds. I don't know. But it's not my problem," Canelo Álvarez replied to the press, distancing himself from the plans of his professional colleague.

Constant challenges in the champion's career

The history of disagreements between both boxers accumulates more than two years of public and media challenges. Benavídez maintains the intention of holding an official match against the Jalisco champion in the future.

The challenger considers that the option will remain valid as long as the champion remains active in the sport.

The fact that the “Mexican Monster” maintains his interest in this duel does not have an impact on the man from Guadalajara. Canelo Álvarez assumes this insistence as a direct consequence of his leadership position in the boxing industry.

Combat evaluation and upcoming commitments

Despite the differences, the Mexican boxer evaluated Benavídez's performance after stopping Ramírez in six rounds. "No, it doesn't surprise me. Yes, I think all boxers in any division challenge me. It's not something new for me, but he had a good fight," Canelo Álvarez stated before the reporters present.

The boxer's statements came from Egypt during the promotion of his next fight. In that country, the athlete formally presented the fight he will hold against Christian Mbilli. The duel for the WBC super middleweight championship is scheduled for the month of September.
