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.”

Frank Warren described the Daniel Dubois and Fabio Wardley fight as the greatest heavyweight fight he had ever seen.
Wardley activated his rematch clause against Dubois, and Warren discussed how large their second fight could be.
The pair faced off just over a week ago in Manchester ahead of a record turnout for the boxing event taking place at the Co-op Live venue.
“DDD” defeated Wardley despite hitting the canvas in the first and third rounds. He put together a series of attacks, forcing the referee to stop the fight in the 11th round.
Promoter Warren announced immediately after the final bell that the former world champion had the option of a rematch with “Dynamite.”
Warren spoke to a man from Ipswich who triggered the option TalkSports about how monumental a rematch could be.
“I really believe it will end in the stadium.
“I think it will happen. This heavyweight division is very stimulating, there are so many great fights.”
Many were surprised that Wardley made the rematch happen just six days after the loss after the damage he sustained in combat.
Queensberry can confirm that Fabio Wardley has activated his rematch clause following his defeat in last week’s WBO world title fight against Daniel Dubois at Co-op Live in Manchester.

His coach, Ben Davison, has faced criticism on social media, with some believing he should have withdrawn his player before the referee was forced to step in.
He talked to Ade Oladipo Professional boxing fans and admitted that he expected the 31-year-old would have to leave the ring for a longer time.
“I said Fabio needs a break and I love him more than most, but I said, ‘Fabio, four of your last five fights have been complex.
“It’s complex physically, mentally, emotionally; you can say, ‘You know what, I’ll stop for a while and come back.'”
Oladipo continued to explain why Wardley might want an immediate rematch and where his motivations might come from.

“We are just people saying this. Fabio is not a normal man, he is not a normal person and he wants to get his belts back.
“Let’s also not forget that he had a tough fight with Frazer Clark, immediately retaliated and knocked him out after about a minute, so he will have the confidence to hurt Daniel.
“He’ll think, ‘I knocked him down twice, I hurt him on multiple occasions.’
“The most vital factor is the paycheck, the paycheck will be much bigger and it will go to the stadium. Why would you turn that down?”
With just 10 days since their first fight, it will likely be some time before an official announcement is made regarding the date or location of the pair’s rematch, although Warren has raised the possibility of a November clash as a stadium rematch now seems inevitable.
