“He will have to fight him at some stage. Believe me when I say, have worked with Canelo Alvarez and Eddy Reynoso, they will work with anyone. They do not care. When you talk about Mexican Monster. Did you see what Canelo Alvarez did to the Caleb Plant? He knocked him out, and Benavidez is a great boxer.

“There’s a difference between hitting him with everything and making him cold, and that’s what Canelo did. So for me, I’ll go back to Canelo all day. I think Benavidez is a great fighter, and after he fought Ryder and Bivol, I wanted to see that fight, and eventually the governing bodies too.

“Benavidez was a much easier match for Canelo than Bivol at 175. As good as Benavidez, and it was a great match, but it was much easier than Bivol at 175.

It was the most important thing in his career to beat Dmitry Bivol because people would say, ‘That’s a bad fight for you. I don’t think you should join that war.’
