“Is he afraid of losing?”. Mike Tyson named the most coveted fight for fans

Legendary former world champion Mike Tyson named the most coveted fight for fans and urged candidates to make the bout.

Details: Tyson has urged Saul "Canelo" Alvarez to finally face David Benavidez in a super middleweight fight that fans worldwide have been eagerly waiting for.

Quote: "What's wrong with Canelo? Is he afraid of losing? Doesn't he want to give the fans the fight they want to see? Don’t you want to give the fans the fight they want to see?

You don't respect the legacy of the great Mexican champions who fought the best, regardless of money? It's a disgrace to boxing and Mexico. If I were him, I would take the fight with Benavidez and show the world that he's the best. But it seems he doesn't have the courage to do it; it's a shame because he has a lot of talent, but he's lacking heart," Tyson said.

Recall: Saul Alvarez is set to return to the ring on September 14 when he faces the undefeated contender Edgar Berlanga in Las Vegas.

Meanwhile, Benavidez is expected to step into the ring closer to the end of the year to defend his interim title, positioning himself as the top contender for a fight against the winner of the bout between Artur Beterbiev and Dmitry Bivol.
