David Benavidez has spoken about supporting Gennadiy Golovkin if he faces Canelo Alvarez again. Canelo and 'GGG' are set to fight each other in September this year. The fight was dependent on both 'GGG' and Canelo beating their next opponents. Golovkin beat Ryoto Murata. Now, if Canelo beats Dmitry Bivol on May 7th, their trilogy fight will be on.
In an interview with FightHubTV, Benavidez spoke about why he supports Gennadiy Golovkin:
"I think he's always gonna be one of those fighters that has Canelo's card so I don't think he's gonna get mopped like that like everybody's saying. But I mean that's for those men to figure out, it's gonna be a great fight, you know I'm definitely gonna be on Golovkin's side no matter what. I'm rooting for Golovkin, Golovkin is one of my favorite fighters, he's one of my favorite people."
