David Benavidez reacts to Canelo’s presence during Zurdo Ramirez fight
David Benavidez believes that Canelo Alvarez will come to see how he will perform in Saturday’s match against Zurdo Ramirez.
Canelo has long been accused of avoiding a fight with Benavidez and has consistently distanced himself from a potential fight with him.
Alvarez is set to presence on Saturday at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas to support stablemate Jaime Munguia, who will face WBA super middleweight champion Armando Resendiz on the fight card.
Benavidez, however, believes the Mexican champion will actually come to see how he will do in his cruiserweight debut against Zurdo.
“It’s a large event,” the 29-year-old told reporters on Wednesday.
“You can judge the scale of the event because Canelo wasn’t even at Jaime Munguia’s last fight.
– He says yes [coming] for Munguia.
“He won’t come to see Munguia, he will come to see me up close.
“I don’t know if it’s about looking forward to the next fight, but you can see how everything turned out.
“I went to his fights, now he comes to my fights.
“I don’t need to say anything more.”
This will be the first time in six years that Alvarez has not fought on the Cinco De Mayo weekend, and his return from his loss to Terence Crawford will likely take place on September 12 in Riyad.
The 35-year-old was sidelined after elbow surgery.
Benavidez challenges Zurdo for his unified WBA and WBO cruiserweight world titles, live on DAZN and Amazon Prime pay-per-view.
“The Mexican Monster” remains the WBC delicate heavyweight champion and defended his title for the first time with a seventh round stoppage over Anthony Yard in November in Riyad.
The Arizona native will become a three-division world champion if he defeats Ramirez, but he later vowed to return to delicate heavyweight to face Dmitry Bivol in an undisputed title bout.
“My plan wasn’t just to abandon the delicate heavyweight division,” he further said Ariel Helwani show.
“My plan was this [to] come up, win two titles, come back and make this fight with me and Bivol even bigger.
“My dream is to become unified champion.
“It would be wise for me to go back downstairs.”

On Wednesday, Lewis Crocker heads to Australia to defend his IBF welterweight world title against Liam Paro for the first time.
Crocker will face Paro at the Pat Rafter Arena in Queensland, live on DAZN in the UK and Kayo Sports in Australia.
Crocker (22-0, 11 KO) became world champion in September, defeating Paddy Donovan twice before winning the rematch by split decision.
Man from Belfast recorded his second victory over Donovan after the first victory in March last year, and his rival was disqualified for hitting him after the bell.
Paro (27-1, 16 KO) is trying to become a world champion in two weight categories, having previously reigned in the super-lightweight division.
The 30-year-old won the title with a unanimous decision victory over Subriel Matias in Puerto Rico before winning the belt in his first defense against Richardson Hitchins.
The Australian has since won twice, overtaking David Papot in his last appearance in September.
McKean meets Taliva
Heavyweight Demsey McKean will look to continue his rebuild when he faces Liam Talivaa for the vacant IBF Pan Pacific title.
McKean (24-2, 16 KO) had his career cut miniature after a last-round loss to Filip Hrgovic, followed by a brutal first-round loss to Moses Itauma.

The 35-year-old southpaw returned to winning ways with back-to-back stoppage victories.
Talivaa (8-2, 4 KO) last won the IBF Oceania-Orient title, defeating Faiga Opelu by first-round stoppage.
Undercard remaining
At cruiserweight, Luke Modini (13-0, 11 KO) will likely need distance to beat Peng Qu (17-2-1, 12 KO), while Riley Candy (8-1, 5 KO) could stop Nathan Watson (11-3, 3 KO) at super middleweight.
Vegas Larfield (13-1, 9 KO) can hand Shamal Ram Anuj (11-8, 8 KO) his fourth defeat in a row in a featherweight clash.
Heavyweight Nelson Asofa-Solomon (2-0, 2 KO) can secure a third straight knockout over debutant George Burgess, and Stevan Ivic (8-0-1, 2 KO) can do the same against Caleb Tialu (3-7, 3 KO), also a heavyweight.
Prospective super welterweight fighter Jack Javed (1-0) should overtake Lance McDonald (1-5-1, 1 KO).
