The highly anticipated boxing match between Canelo Alvarez and David Benavidez is now in jeopardy, sparking disappointment among fans and commentators. Reports suggest that Canelo Alvarez has refused to fight Benavidez, a decision that has led to speculation about the reasons behind it. Some believe that Benavidez's fighting style poses a significant challenge to Canelo at this point in his career. There is still hope that the fight could happen, with suggestions that the involvement of Saudi investors and a deal with Matchroom could ensure the match goes ahead, potentially including financial compensation for Benavidez in the millions if the fight does not occur. The boxing community is abuzz with opinions, with some stating that Benavidez could have won against the current version of Canelo through a corner or referee stoppage. Eddie & Turki are mentioned as key figures in making the fight happen.
Do you think Canelo is ducking Benavidez, like he did with the prime version of GGG?

The Saudi’s Can Make Canelo vs Benavidez Happen‼️ All Benavidez has to do is sign with Matchroom after his next fight & ensure in writing that the fight is guaranteed by the end of his term or he will be financially compensated in the millions…🤷🏽♂️ Eddie & Turki will… https://t.co/CRvLfbl1Qm
