David Benavidez to Fight Canelo Alvarez in Summer 2024

Undisputed Super Middleweight Champion To Face Rising Star

WBC Gives Green Light to Long-Awaited Clash

After a resounding victory over Demetrius Andrade, David Benavidez has set his sights on a super-middleweight title fight with undisputed champion Saul Canelo Alvarez.

Alvarez, who is set to defend his title on Saturday against Jaime Munguia, has been teasing a potential fight with Benavidez for some time. Now, with the WBC giving the green light, the fight is likely to take place in the summer of 2024 in the United States.

The bout is expected to be a clash of styles, with Benavidez's aggressive, come-forward approach meeting Alvarez's technical boxing skills. Benavidez is the mandatory challenger for the WBC super-middleweight title, and a victory over Alvarez would make him the undisputed champion.

The fight has been highly anticipated by boxing fans, and is expected to draw a large crowd. It will be a major test for both fighters, and will likely have a significant impact on the super-middleweight division.
