So, Jose Benavidez Sr. tried to push the envelope further by calling out the Mexican superstar.

Despite all the buzz, speculations, and claims, there hasn’t been a single word from Canelo’s corner. So, turning to Instagram, Benavidez Sr. shared a poster of the potential fight alongside a message calling out ‘Cinnamon.’ Benavidez Sr. wrote, “@jcgdesigns They know what the fight is that we all want to see⁣… #CaneloBenavidez.” When the boxing world got their hands on the post, a sort of frenzy took over the comment section.

After 25 November’s showdown between Benavidez and Andrade, Henry Cejudo turned to X (formerly Twitter) to express his thoughts on Benavidez’s performance and fight with Canelo. Cejudo began by breaking down Benavidez’s moves during the fight, resulting in the stoppage victory.

However, at the end of the video, Cejudo reiterated what Canelo had claimed about Mexican fighters while suggesting a loophole. “Canelo said he doesn’t want to fight Mexicans. But guess what, Canelo? This dude was born in the USA,” said Cejudo. While people are condemning Canelo for not taking the fight, only time will tell what Canelo does.
