Canelo Alvarez’s supervisor/coach is setting the report straight.
Eddy Reynoso advised ESPN Deportes in Spanish that he didn’t obtain a $55 million supply for Alvarez to face David Benavidez, as Benavidez’s promoter Samson Lewkowicz reportedly advised. And he dismissed the notion that the undisputed 168-pound champion is afraid of Benavidez as being “in very unhealthy style.”
Alvarez is predicted to battle on Might 4 however has not introduced an opponent. And Benavidez reportedly is in talks to face 175-pounder Oleksandr Gvozdyk in late spring or the summer time.
“The truth is that not one of the huge promoters, not Al Haymon from Premier Boxing Champions, not Eddie Hearn from Matchroom, not Bob Arum from High Rank and never even Oscar De La Hoya from Golden Boy have given me an supply to battle Benavidez … and positively not …Terence Crawford,” Reynoso stated.
He went on: “Canelo Group has a direct line with Al Haymon and I actually doubt that anybody from PBC will come out to assist what [Lewkowicz] is saying for wanting to avoid wasting the way in which he has dealt with his fighter. It isn’t our fault that Benavidez has not had the alternatives that they shout a lot about. Our job is for Canelo to shine and proceed to shine as he has till now.”
And he doesn’t perceive how anybody may query Alvarez’s braveness given his deep resume.
“I discover it in very unhealthy style that they are saying that Canelo is afraid of him,” Reynoso stated. “I don’t understand how they dare to categorise as fearful a fighter who didn’t hesitate to take the chance in opposition to Floyd Mayweather, who has been the most effective boxer of the final 20 years, a fighter who confronted the fearsome Gennadiy Golovkin who was about to set a brand new mark [for knockouts], of defenses at middleweight and had knocked out half the world, a fighter who rose to gentle heavyweight risking the whole lot to face Dmitry Bivol, who confronted Miguel Cotto, who beat the most effective tremendous middleweights of his time to make historical past.”
Reynoso reportedly has stated that Alvarez’s opponent shall be introduced inside per week. Jermall Charlo had been rumored to be the main candidate however now fellow Mexican Jaime Munguia is within the combine.
