David Benavidez has been so insistent on receiving the opportunity to face Saul “Canelo” Alvarez that he is just one win away from doing so: he has to beat Caleb Plant next March and he will become the mandatory opponent who will challenge the Mexican boxer for the World Boxing Council super middleweight title.

Canelo recovering from left hand surgery@Canelo

This was defined this Wednesday in the mandatory fights session of the 60th edition of the WBC Annual Convention that has been held since last Monday in the city of Acapulco, Mexico, where the fights that will have to be held by order of the organization presided by Mauricio Sulaiman were discussed.

Sampson Lewkowics, Benavidez’s promoter, was present at the session and requested that the winner of the fight between Benavidez and Plant, who will possibly face each other in March, receive the opportunity to fight Canelo, absolute champion, which was approved by the WBC Board of Governors.

But first they will have to know the status of Canelo’s recovery, who a few weeks ago underwent surgery on his left wrist, from which the bandage has already been removed and there is a possibility that he could return to activity in May, although nothing is confirmed.

WBC wants to know Canelo’s injury status

But while Canelo informs the WBC of the status of his injury, there are two rivals who are excited about the possibility of facing him: Plant, who would go for a rematch after his defeat at the end of 2021, and Benavidez, who has insisted on challenging Canelo, but even the world champion once said that he would not be disrespected by asking for that fight.

Benavidez is WBC interim champion and will have to expose his title against Plant, who in his last fight knocked out Anthony Dirrell. The cards are on the table, now we have to wait for the winner of Benavidez-Plant and hope Canelo accepts the fight.
