Count Trevor McCumby among the vocal few who believe undisputed super middleweight champion Saul “Canelo” Alvarez is not ducking David Benavidez. Arizona’s McCumby (28-0, 21 KOs), a rising undefeated super middleweight, says Alvarez isn’t ducking any 168-pounder. The viewpoint contrasts what many fight fans and fighters, including Mike Tyson, Floyd Mayweather, Andre Ward, Daniel Jacobs and Paulie Malignaggi have said about a potential Canelo-Benavidez fight—all of whom have declared Canelo is avoiding the unbeaten two-time super middleweight champion who has been calling out the Mexican great for years.

Daniel Jacobs has retired from professional boxing at 37 years old. “[I’m] announcing my retirement,” Jacobs wrote. “[I] want to show my gratitude and appreciation to the sport of boxing as it has changed my life in ways I never could imagine. It has instilled so many morals and values I wouldn’t have learned otherwise. Boxing made me the man I am today. It has always been my dream to be a champion in life and when boxing found me, I was a poor kid growing up in Brownsville, Brooklyn with not much to look forward to. As a young Black kid, I was being forced fed an identity that I wasn’t important or wouldn’t succumb to anything substantial in life. I was told [that] the ghetto that I grew up in was was full of criminals with no future and I [would] be a statistic just like my peers and the ones that came [before] me. [They told me that I would be] dead or in jail with no potential to make it out or to make a success of myself. I am now proud to say [that] I’m the rose that grew from concrete in Brooklyn. I’ve prove[d] so many people wrong.”

The Saudis want to make Terence Crawford vs. Jaron Ennis as soon as possible. They were on course to box each other at welterweight. Ennis was Crawford’s IBF mandatory. However, after stopping Errol Spence Jr. to become undisputed at 147, Bud was contractually bound to rematch Spence. While the rematch broke down, Crawford was stripped, allowing Ennis to become the full champion. Bud would then move up to 154 pounds. He will box Israil Madrimov on August 3. If he comes through with a win, Ennis could be next.
