Finally, plugging one more brick in the wall, David Benavidez and his team rolled out a new deal to ‘Canelo’ Alvarez. Sports Illustrated‘s Chris Mannix initially reported it. Michael Benson shared that a $50 million guaranteed purse could be Alvarez’s, but his undisputed Super Middleweight belts would be at stake. It follows the frequent callouts for a fight from Benavidez’s end, besides remaining at the top slot in the must-watch list of the fans.

Benavidez successfully defended his (Interim) WBC Super Middleweight title from Caleb Plant on March 25. On the other hand, ‘Canelo’ Alvarez secured his undisputed title a second time from John Ryder‘s challenge. Thus a match between the two seems logical. However, unforeseen reasons and other holdups keep the big fight hot and cold. Perhaps the new proposal might open new doors to the much-anticipated battle.

Skeptical fans caution David Benavidez not to take Alvarez lightly

Unsurprisingly, the news has pulled in nearly half-a-million views. Many fans chimed in with their feelings. Some welcomed the idea, but quite a few remain adamant that ‘Canelo’ Alvarez is not your run-on-mill boxer to toy around. Most followers think David Benavidez will have a cakewalk over ‘Canelo’ Alvarez, highlighting the following user. However, they should understand that the latter stopped Caleb Plant in the eleventh round. So he argues that Banevidez struggled till the final bell despite all the planning.

Agreeing with the details of the proposed deal, a user named Anthony states that Alvarez is a senior boxer. Moreover, he has been in the business longer compared to Benavidez. Hence it lends his team more credibility and privileges by default to seek higher returns from a fight.

Conor McGregor has made his presence known to the world in the quirkiest way possible. After calling-out Canelo Alvarez, ‘Mystic Mac’ decided to fire up against UFC Hall of Famer Mark Coleman. In a tweet, it was announced that Coleman was coming back for a celebrity boxing match. But McGregor seemed to like the limelight as he accepted the challenge in a deleted tweet.

However, McGregor’s move didn’t go unnoticed. The 58-year-old UFC Hall of Famer took to Instagram and sent a reply to the former UFC double champion. After claiming to be a big McGregor fan, he seemed confident about defeating ‘The Notorious’ in a boxing bout. Furthermore, he kept saying that being sober was, in fact, cool. He also thanked the Liver King for spreading around the ancestral tenants.

Following the call-out by ‘The Notorious’, Coleman decided to get back at the mixed martial artist. He shared a video on Instagram where he seemingly agreed to fight the Irishman. Howbeit, the fight has to take place in a squared ring. Furthermore, he also took a jab at the fighter for stealing a round from Khabib Nurmagomedov.

Jon Jones vs. Tyson Fury gets Dana White endorsement

UFC heavyweight champion Jon Jones has been engaged in a verbal battle with heavyweight boxing champion Tyson Fury of late. For weeks, the two have been spitting at each other, becoming one of the only potential fights that garnered the endorsement of UFC president Dana White.

That verbal battle is likely to remain a war of words. Jones is adamant he would throttle Fury in the Octagon, while the boxer only wants to fight under the Marquess of Queensberry boxing rules. So the self-proclaimed baddest men on the planet want nothing to do with the other’s sport.

Conor McGregor vs. Floyd Mayweather came to fruition

McGregor, of course, is no stranger to verbal warfare, even garnering enough attention to conjure up an actual boxing match with pugilistic great Floyd Mayweather. That is certainly one mark in McGregor’s favor. As much as he spits fire, it often is backed up with action.

Even though he lost to Mayweather, the bout happened, and it shattere
