Canelo Alvarez blasts Mike Tyson for "lack of heart" comments
David Benavidez, the WBC mandatory challenger, was a strong contender for Canelo Alvarez's next fight, however, the Mexican superstar opted for Jamie Munguia. This decision drew criticism from Mike Tyson, who accused Alvarez of "lacking heart" after reports surfaced that Alvarez turned down a lucrative offer to fight Benavidez.
Alvarez addressed the criticism during a press conference, taking a clear jab at Tyson:
"I don't need to fight anybody. I don't need to prove anything to anybody because I remember when this happened with [Gennady] Golovkin. So I don't need to prove anything to anybody. This fight with Jamie Munguia you need to respect more because this fight is more important than other fights."
He added:
'It's never enough for you guys. I don't need to prove anything to anybody anymore. I've done everything in my career... I'd respect [Tyson's] opinion if he was sober."
