The legendary former boxer did not like the fact that Canelo refused the fight with David Benavidez.
Mike Tyson is furious with Saul Alvarez’s refusal to fight David Benavidez. The former legendary boxer was at a loss for words and called Canelo’s decision a disgrace to Mexico. But he called Benavidez the pride of the country.
“I could not believe what I heard. Canelo turned down $60 million to fight Benavidez, who is a great fighter, young, strong, hungry, the pride of Mexico.
What’s wrong with Canello? Is he afraid of losing? Does he not want to give the fans the fight they want to see? Don’t you respect the legacy of the great Mexican champions who stood up to the best despite the money? This is a shame for boxing and Mexico.
If I were him, I would fight Benavidez and show the world that I am the best. But he doesn’t seem to have the courage to do that.
It’s a shame because he has a lot of talent, but he doesn’t have the strength to prove it,” Tyson was quoted as saying by MARCA.
We remind you that Canelo will fight Jaime Munguia on May 4. In this regard, David Benavidez will meet Alexander Gvozdyk in the summer.
