A superfight against Canelo Alvarez could be on the line when David Benavidez defends the interim WBC super middleweight title against Demetrius Andrade at the Michelob ULTRA Arena in Las Vegas on November 25. This will be the final PPV boxing event to be distributed by Showtime.
A former two-time WBC super middleweight champion, Benavidez (27-0) has 23 wins via knockout. "El Bandera Roja" expects to use that knockout power against Andrade. After that, he looks for a date with destiny against Canelo, who is the undisputed champion at this weight class.
Andrade (32-0) is a former two-division champion, having won super welterweight and middleweight gold. "Boo Boo” relinquished his WBO middleweight title to focus on super middleweight and this is the toughest challenge of his career to date.
“I’ve fought every style there is today. I just have to go in there, find his weakness, and figure out what’s going to work, “ Andrade said. “I’m gonna step forward with my best foot, and I expect David to do the same, even though his feet are not as great as mine. We’ll be having fun in there.”
