In an interview with Fight Hub, Canelo Alvarez expressed his determination not to yield to external pressures. He firmly stated that he will not be swayed by the calls for a showdown with David Benavidez for the super middleweight title. Canelo addressed his critics, defending his track record of facing all challengers and asserting his autonomy in selecting his opponents.
Reflecting on his career accomplishments, Canelo emphasized his right to dictate his path, stating, “I’ve worked hard to reach this position, and I will exercise my freedom to choose.” While a fight with Benavidez might be appealing to fans, Canelo sees it as a no-win scenario and prefers to avoid potential criticism.

He also shared his anticipation for his upcoming bout against Jaime Munguia on Cinco de Las Vegas, emphasizing its significance for Mexican boxing.
Anticipating an intense clash with Munguia, known for his punching power, Canelo expressed his eagerness for the challenge. He relishes the opportunity to engage in exciting battles and expects a thrilling fight for the fans. His upcoming fight with Munguia promises to deliver action and excitement in the ring on May 4th.
