"I have bad news for everyone: David Benavidez's fight with Canelo is not going to happen," he revealed. "Now in this fight he injured his hand, now we can see that Canelo is starting to enjoy himself, which he has every right to because he has been a very disciplined person." No fight between Canelo and Benavidezīoxing fans will be left with the desire to see a fight between the Mexico native and the Mexican-American because, Jose Benavidez, said that, although his son's fight against Caleb Plant is an eliminator to know Canelo's next challenger, that confrontation will not take place. "At first we looked at him with injuries to a knee," said Benavidez. The boxer from Guadalajara seems not to be 100 percent focused on boxing as he has had physical discomfort, in addition to playing golf whenever he has the opportunity. He points out that Canelo is suffering more and more from injuries.

"I consider him, with respect, I consider him a finished boxer," said Jose Benavidez, father and trainer of David in an interview with Izquierdazo. David Benavidez's team considers Canelo Alvarez to be a washed-up fighter, which is why they are not interested in a fight against him and suggest that he dedicate himself fully to golf.
