David Benavidez calls out Canelo Alvarez during his post-fight interview and press conference

David Benavidez had only one name on his mind after beating Demetrius Andrade. On Saturday night, at the Michelob Ultra Arena in Las Vegas, he dominated Andrade, forcing him to retire in the 6th round.

Following his win, Benavidez made it very clear that he wants only one fight next, and that is against Canelo Alvarez. Here's what he said during his in-ring interview:

"Just a reminder, letting everyone know who the f**k the real champion at 168 is! They (the fans) wanna see me vs Canelo and that’s what we want too! I'm the youngest super-middleweight champion in the world, three-time world champion, now just give me the fight that we all want to see."

Even the fans are backing Benavidez to fight Alvarez. Previously, when he was asked to fight Benavidez, Alvarez stated that 'El Monstro' did not have anything to offer to him. However, now that he has become champion, he can stake his claim to a fight against the 'face of boxing'.
