David Benavidez has expressed interest in fighting boxing superstar Canelo Alvarez. The former two-time WBC super-middleweight champion did admit, however, that Alvarez would be a tough outing.

Following his win on November 13, 'El Bandera Roja' made his case at the post-fight press conference. The 24-year-old American admitted that a fight with the Mexican would not be an easy task, but he was more than ready for the challenge.

"I think the fans speak for itself. The fans have been calling for this fight for a long, long time and there's nobody else for Canelo to fight. you know, I feel like I'm a bigger guy, a stronger guy, I have a lot of speed. You know, obviously, a lot of people say that I'm an easy walk in the park for Canelo but they say that about all my opponents. 'I dont' have defense, I don't have nothing.' But I rarely get hit. I know when I get in the ring with the fighters, it's a completely different story. I know how strong I am, I know how much pressure I put on and I know how these guys tend to break down towards the end of the fight. I know a fight with Canelo won't be easy but I'm willing to get my heart and my soul in that ring to get the victory and I know that I can get it done... So, I feel like I might deserve that fight," said David Benavidez.
