Eyeing For the Title.
Andrade has already proven his dominance over Demond Nicholson and made a name for himself. However, if Andrade fights and wins against Benavidez, it will catapult Andrade’s fighting career to the next level. But his primary goal is to fight the top dog, Canelo Alvarez. Andrade said, “Of course, I’m gonna do what’s best and that’s put the cherry on the cake and that’s Canelo but if Canelo don’t wanna tango, he has all the right not to.”
Andrade is thinking from a careerist side of things and believes that if enough people push the fight between him and Alvarez, the fight might, manifest into reality. Therefore the question looms, ‘When will it happen?’
According to WBC president Mauricio Sulaimán, we need to wait for the David Benavidez vs Demetrius Andrade on Novem 25th and then push for the Alvarez vs Andrade fight. According to Sulaimán, “Let’s wait for the outcome of November 25, avoiding any eventualities, cuts, injuries, whatever it may be, but if he maintains his status as the official contender, he’s definitely the official challenger.”
