The boxing world is clamoring for a bout between Saúl "Canelo" Álvarez and David Benavidez, and everything points to it happening in 2024.
At least that's the official stance of the World Boxing Council, as they see no obstacles for the match to take place.
Benavidez (27-0-0) has been persistently asserting that he deserves a shot against the Guadalajara-born fighter, who currently holds all four super middleweight titles, as he stands as the official contender.
However, he will have to stake his claim on November 25 when he faces off against also undefeated Demetrius Andrade (32-0-0).
Should Benavidez triumph over Andrade, he will be confirmed as the official challenger.
