Benavidez sr. He accuses Canelo Alvarez of transforming boxing into a “circus” with SCULL and Crawford duels

Coach Jose Benavidez sr. Baked Canelo Alvarez in an interview with his plans to fight with the little-known William Scull on May 3 in Riyjad, and then the 154-pound owner of the Terenka Crawford belt on 13 September in Las Vegas.
Benavidez sr. He claims that sanctioning bodies should not allow these fights. It simply turns sport into a “circus”. He annoys Jose Sr. He runs with it.
Jose Sr. He believes that Alvarez should have higher standards and focus on fighting the best guys in 168 and 175, instead of taking fighting at the circus level at the end of his career. Floyd Mayweather Jr. He did the same at the end of his career. Perhaps Canelo learned from him.
“Who is Scull?”
“Scull, what the hell did he achieve? Who is Scull? I didn’t even know who Scull was,” said Jose Benavidez Sr. Fight Hub tvTrashing Canelo Alvarez for his plans to fight with the little -known super middle champion IBF William Scull next May 3 in Riyjad.
Jose Sr. He is not the only one who doesn’t know William Scull. Many fans have never seen him fight before, and those who were not impressed. He received a 12-round unanimous decision about Vladimir Shishkin in Germany on October 19 last year.
“Terence Crawford, come on. He looked really bad in his last fight [WBA 154-lb champion Israil Madrimov]. He goes up two divisions. Come, man. We tried to go to the fight [Oleksandr] Usyk in heavyweight. David is not ready yet. I also don’t think Crawford is ready for it. “
Crawford is definitely not ready to fight for 168 with talent like Canelo. Turki should have made Canelo Fight Fight a conditional based on Crawford up 168 and defeating two solid fighters. It didn’t happen. He gets a lot of money to jump on two divisions from 154 to 168 after a faint performance against Israil Madrimov in August last year. Fans should perceive Canelo-Crawford as a duel that you need to see, 50-50, but this is not the case. Unless there is a great card for this event, many fans will decide not to order it.
“So I see two fights straightforward for him [Canelo in 2025]And that’s what they want. People allow it, and organizations allow it. So he will continue to do it. Why not? As he says, he can do what he wants and does what he wants – said Benavidez Sr.
There is no way that sanctioning bodies or commissions can stop Canelo from fighting Crawford. Titles are not significant for this fight. It’s about money and mindless, junk entertainment. Only hardcore fans take care of the titles. This is only Canelo Fighting Crawford in a boxer -type match vs. Puncher match. Crawford is not well known by free fans and is not a great attraction with hardcore fans because of his penniless CV. His combat style was not fun enough for him to have a wider appeal like Canelo.
Fate of boxing?
“Boxing turned into something that is not so good. Before, we had Fernando Vargas fighting Shane Mosley, fighting Oscar de la Hoya, Julio Cesar Chavez, all these warriors, fighting with these good fights. But now only one that fights everyone, is David Benavidez, challenge after the challenge.
Sport has run a circus route since Floyd Mayweather Jr. He began a tendency in 2018, when he fought the novice Conor McGregor in Nevada in a professional struggle for Nevada sanctioned by the commission to break the Rocky Marciano record. From there, the circus lasted, and YouTubers entertain sport, and Francis Ngannou fights with Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua.
Canelo decides to defend his unified titles of super medium weight against the former 154-Funt champion Jermell Charlo, and now he is expected to face Trystka Crawford in September. Even if the fight could not happen in Nevada, Canelo can find a country or country that would sanction him.
“When he intended to fight the Caleba plant, they said that Caleb would make him look bad. Boo Boo intends to take him to school and make him look witty. David Morrell from the great school of Cuba. Those warriors whom you see only every 30 years, and looks at what happened. There are types of fights that people want to see,” said Jose Sr.
“Here they do a circus, and Canelo does what he wants. Good for him. The organizers allow it. It does not matter what people say. They are still doing it,” said Benavidez Sr.

My plan in Tokyo is to do some training with Inoue. That would be great!!!!! And stream it
— RYAN GARCIA (@RyanGarcia) June 5, 2026
The proposed sessions would bring together two world champions from different weight categories. Ryan currently holds the WBC welterweight title and Inoue is the undisputed junior featherweight champion.
A notable part of Ryan’s post was his willingness to stream workouts.
One of the things Ryan mentioned in his X post was his desire to stream workouts. Ryan didn’t say whether he would bring the idea to Naoya to see if he agreed with it or not, nor did he give a date when he would train with the Japanese star.
At this stage, Ryan’s comments appear to reflect purpose rather than final findings. Although he has publicly outlined the plan, Inoue has not announced any potential training session.
If training takes place, they will bring together champions separated by more than 20 pounds in weight. Ryan is fighting in the welterweight division, and Inoue is building his championship streak in the junior featherweight division.
The idea remains one Ryan hopes to implement during his visit to Tokyo, with the added possibility of giving fans a glimpse of the session via livestream.

Tyson Fury is set to take part in the long-awaited clash with Anthony Joshua, but first he needs a warm-up. Now another challenger has been added to the fight, and Fury is “very interested” in the proposed fight.
The long-awaited clash between Fury and Joshua has finally been signed and will take place pending success in their tune-up fights. While Joshua is scheduled to face Kristian Prenga next month, Fury remains without an opponent for his August outing.
Promoter Frank Warren promised a “good” opponent but he recently ruled out the possibility of the “Gypsy King” facing Joshua’s former defeater Andy Ruiz Jr., who is believed to have priced himself out of the fight.
I’m talking to Play UKJoshua’s other rival, Jarrell Miller, has revealed that Fury is “very interested” in fighting him as he discusses a potential all-American clash with Deontay Wilder.
“I’ve been one of the most avoided heavyweights for a long time. We’re seeing it now. We’re trying to get Deontay Wilder out there. There’s no fight in front of him. I’m the top heavyweight in America right now, so we’re trying to make certain things happen. Let’s see if he can take control.”
“Tyson Fury is also very interested. I would love to fight these guys. Deontay or Tyson would be a wonderful fight for me. Let’s see if we can make it happen.”
Fury’s manager, Spencer Brown, recently confirmed both fighters’ desire to make the fight happen, but said Miller would likely not be able to complete a full training camp on time.
The American has already scored two victories in 2026, defeating both Kingsley Ibeh and Lenier Pero, and the 37-year-old hopes those triumphs will earn him another chance on the huge stage.
