At 178 pounds, Mexican boxer Ryan Garcia requested a battle against David Benavidez despite their disparate weight classes. Ryan Garcia issued a challenge to David Benavidez, the interim 168-pound champion and the fighter who many want to see confront Canelo Alvarez, even though his future is uncertain following accusations that he took illegal substances for the Devin Haney bout.
Garcia expressed his desire to take on the Mexican Monster via his “X” account, and the latter promptly replied to KingRy’s request for the contract.
“Send the contract. I’ll go down to 144″; Benavidez responded by publishing a screenshot of Garcia’s tweet from his Instagram account.
Ryan Garcia Challenges David Benavidez
Despite Benavidez accepting Ryan García’s challenge on social media, the boxers’ ridiculous weight disparity renders the match unreal, at least for the near future.
Benavidez has decided to step up to 175 pounds to take on Oleksandr Gvozdyk, while Ryan Garcia recently finished a bout at 135 pounds against Devin Haney.
Although fans have been waiting for this battle for some months, Ryan García’s challenge was also a kind move to Canelo Álvarez, who declined to fight Bandera Roja.

“Canelo my big bro I got your back. Benavidez is done. I’ll handle your light work”, Garcia wrote on his ‘X’ account.
Ryan Garcia was quite clear about it. If he decides between “The Mexican Monster” and “Big Brother” Canelo Alvarez, the choice is clear. The unchallenged super middleweight champion will be there.
One of the most popular topics of conversation in recent years has been the Canelo Alvarez-David Benavidez controversy. Despite their names and positions, the two most dominant faces in the 168-pound class have yet to enter the ring at opposing corners. Furthermore, the story has been conventional. Although Benavidez has been criticizing the P4P great regularly, many claim that the latter has yet to respond in kind. Lately, he has made some necessary elements to set up the confrontation with “The Mexican Monster.”
