David Benavidez (25-0, 22 KOs) dreams of a fight against Saul Alvarez (57-1-2, 39 KOs), as well as Gennady Golovkin (42-1-1, 37 KOs). The only difference is that Golovkin's fight with Canelo is already tentatively scheduled for September 17th.

The boxer from Kazakhstan did his job and defeated Ryota Murata. If the Mexican can cope on May 7 with Dmitry Bivol (19-0, 11 KOs), WBA light heavyweight champion, he and GGG are set to complete the trilogy in mid-September. The puncher from Phoenix does not hide the fact that in this fight he will keep his fists for Golovkin.

“Golovkin looked good against Murata. He will always have some advantage. Maybe he missed too much, but he always answered with his shots. At the same time, everyone promises him the loss of Canelo in the third fight, but I do not agree with these statements. Their third fight will be great and I will definitely be on Golovkin's side. He is one of my favorite boxers and one of my favorite people in the business. So I will always try to support him and cheer for him,” admitted Benavidez, a former two-time world super middleweight champion who lost his WBC belt outside the ring (once due to doping, the second time due to being overweight).
