A month ago, the former world champion in the first middleweight and middleweight Demetrius Andreid (32-0, 19 KOs) made a successful debut in the weight limit up to 76.2 kg with an easy points victory over Demond Nicholson. The American promised that he went in search of bigger fights and names.
Andreid is linked to Al Haymon and apart from Canelo, he could potentially face the best fighters in the division. But the best ones don't seem to be very eager to fight him. Tyson Fury, the heavyweight king, has his own theory about this.
“In every category in which he fights, everyone bypasses him. He was a world champion in two weights, now he is trying to become a third. Everyone who had enough balls to go into the ring with him, he cut off these balls. In super middleweight there is Caleb Plant, David Benavidez, there is also Charlo, finally give him a chance and a big fight. He is a really good boxer and the most avoided fighter in modern sports. Others are just afraid of Andreyd and run from him as much as they can,” said Fury, the WBC heavyweight champion.
