“BRING ME CANELO!” – David Benavidez Calls Out Canelo After Crushing David Morrell in Just 2 Rounds, Secures Career-High Bonus

David Benavidez sent a thunderous message to the boxing world after a dominant second-round demolition of David Morrell, immediately turning his attention to the fight he—and the fans—have been demanding: Canelo Álvarez.

Benavidez Makes a Statement

Stepping into the ring against Morrell, many expected a competitive showdown. Morrell, an undefeated Cuban powerhouse with a blend of speed and power, was seen as a legitimate threat to Benavidez’s dominance. However, from the opening bell, it was clear that this was a mismatch.

Benavidez wasted no time asserting his control, pressuring Morrell with relentless combinations and a suffocating offensive assault. By the second round, the inevitable happened—Benavidez landed a devastating left hook, followed by a flurry of brutal shots that sent Morrell crashing to the canvas. The referee had seen enough, waving off the fight as the arena erupted.

With this emphatic victory, Benavidez not only reaffirmed his status as the most dangerous contender in the super middleweight division but also secured the biggest bonus of his career. Reports suggest that his earnings from the fight, including bonuses and pay-per-view shares, marked a record payday for the 27-year-old Mexican-American star.

“BRING ME CANELO!”

Still fired up in the post-fight interview, Benavidez wasted no time calling out his long-awaited opponent.

“There’s no one left. Bring me Canelo! That’s the fight the world wants to see, and I’m ready to take that belt!”

For years, the boxing world has clamored for a showdown between Benavidez and Canelo Álvarez, the undisputed super middleweight champion. While Canelo has remained focused on other challengers, Benavidez’s latest performance puts undeniable pressure on the Mexican superstar to finally step into the ring with his biggest threat.

Will Canelo Answer the Call?

Canelo Álvarez has long been the face of boxing, but at 33, questions are beginning to surface about whether he will take on the young, hungry challenger or continue on his own carefully curated path. The demand for a Benavidez-Canelo showdown has never been higher, and with the super middleweight division lacking true challengers for both men, the time may finally be right.

With an explosive performance, a record-breaking payday, and a fired-up challenge to Canelo, David Benavidez has made one thing clear—he’s not waiting anymore. Now, the pressure is on Canelo Álvarez to respond. Will he accept the challenge, or will the boxing world be left wondering what could have been?
