Canelo Spotted at Benavidez Fight Amidst Injury Hiatus

Canelo Alvarez is slated to attend the pay-per-view boxing event on Saturday at T-Mobile Arena. This appearance is noteworthy as Alvarez is currently sidelined due to elbow surgery he underwent last year, causing him to miss his usual Cinco de Mayo fight weekend. The four-division champion's presence adds intrigue to a card topped by David Benavidez.

Eddy Reynoso confirmed Alvarez's attendance. The event features Benavidez moving up to the cruiserweight division for the first time, facing unified WBO/WBA champion Gilberto Ramirez. Benavidez boasts an undefeated record of 31-0 with 25 knockouts, while Ramirez holds a 48-1 record with 30 knockouts.

This pairing also keeps Benavidez connected to Alvarez's orbit. Benavidez has been the WBC's top-ranked and mandatory contender. Alvarez, who typically headlines Cinco de Mayo weekend, is expected back in the ring in mid-September in Saudi Arabia. Oscar De La Hoya will also attend to support his fighters, including Ramirez.
