Demetrius Andrade has been on the receiving end of a lot of flak in recent years. With a stellar record of 32 undefeated fights, the boxer vacated his WBO middleweight title in April last year. His mandatory challenger, Janibek Alimkhanuly, was however ready for the bout. But Andrade decided to move up the weights to challenge Zach Parker.

However, the fight was rescheduled for the interim WBO middleweight title. But leaving this fight behind, too, he decided to defend his title against John Ryder. After having navigated this entire path of turbulent matchups, Andrade has finally narrowed down on a new fighter, and rumors suggest it is David Benavidez.
