Interim WBC interim middleweight champion David Benavidez said that after his fight with Saul "Canelo" Alvarez he wants to fight Dmitry Bivol and Artur Beterbiev in the light-heavyweight division.
Canelo first and then go up to 175lbs and beat Bivol and then maybe Beterbiev. I solidified myself as the dominant performer I am. I'm gonna be the super-middleweight champion of the world, three-time world champion.
