WBC president Mauricio Sulaiman states that David Benavidez is the mandatory challenger for undisputed super middleweight champion Canelo Alvarez.
Well, sort of.
Here’s the catch.
Sulaiman still hasn’t set a deadline for the fight and will permit the superstar Canelo to fight on May 4th with interim WBC champion Benavidez (28-0, 24 KOs) forced to wait on the sidelines, hoping that he’ll get a chance to fight Alvarez next.
