"I'm going to beat him more efficiently and faster than Canelo," promises David Benavidez (26-0, 23 KOs), who on March 25 in Las Vegas will meet with Caleb Plant (22-1, 13 KOs).

“The key to victory will be my body shots. I train as hard as I can, spar ten to fifteen rounds at my peak and drop to twelve at the end. This is what my camp looks like. I spar with three different fighters and can easily go twenty rounds. I feel great, I consider myself number one and I want to prove it later in the fight against Canelo. Right now, I'm number two, Plant is number three, and Canelo is number one. You will see, I will beat Plant in a better style than Alvarez, ”said the former two-time world super middleweight champion, who lost his WBC belt outside the ring due to doping and being overweight.

“I hit very accurately and hurt every opponent I have dealt with so far. This fight will be similar. In any case, it is clear that Plant does not like to face punchers, and even in a fight with Jose Uskategui, he was hurt. I will be bigger, stronger and maybe faster,” added Benavidez.
