Renowned boxer Jose Benavidez Jr. has issued a clear and stark warning to current WBO middleweight champion Demetrius Andrade. Brazenly, he stated, “David will take him out!”.
This provocative statement from Jose Benavidez Jr., older brother and frequent sparring partner of former WBC super-middleweight champion David Benavidez, adds fuel to the already simmering tension between Andrade and the Benavidez camp. They have been entwined in an escalating war of words ever since David expressed his desire to challenge Andrade for his middleweight title.
Expanding on his remark, Jose Benavidez Jr. confidently asserted, “David’s power and skill are unparalleled in the division. If you look at David’s record, he has devastating KO power, stopping 20 out of his 24 opponents. That’s a KO rate of over 83 percent!” Andrade has indeed faced criticism for not fighting the top-tier challengers in his division, and Jose Benavidez Jr.’s comments further suggest that Andrade may be avoiding dangerous opponents like David.
On the other hand, Andrade, ever so confident in his boxing prowess, seems unperturbed by the threat. With a professional record of 30 wins and no losses, the champion is clearly no pushover.

It’s about time we get in the ring and settle this. I believe I have what it takes to claim the WBO belt.” Engaging in such open verbal sparring before an official match often escalates the intensity of a fight when it eventually materializes, drawing more interest from fans and boosting viewership.
While Andrade continues to hold onto his title as an undefeated middleweight champion, the seasoned professionals and seasoned fans recognize the threat posed by David Benavidez.
