In a heated exchange, David Benavidez, the former WBC super middleweight champion, wasted no time in responding to Canelo Alvarez’s recent remarks labeling him a coward. Benavidez, known for his fierce competitiveness inside the ring, didn’t mince words when addressing Alvarez’s comments.

In an exclusive interview, Benavidez asserted, “Canelo can call me whatever he wants, but when it comes to stepping into the ring, there’s no backing down from me. I’ve proven time and again that I’m willing to face anyone, anywhere, anytime.”

Benavidez’s reaction comes after Alvarez’s public statement where he questioned Benavidez’s willingness to fight him, suggesting that Benavidez was avoiding a potential showdown.

Refusing to let Alvarez’s words go unchallenged, Benavidez continued, “If Canelo thinks I’m a coward, then let’s settle it in the ring. I’m ready to prove him wrong and show the world who the real coward is.”

The exchange has stirred up significant interest among boxing fans, with many eagerly anticipating a potential matchup between the two fighters. As tensions escalate, the possibility of a clash between Benavidez and Alvarez looms larger, promising an electrifying showdown in the world of boxing.
