Mike Tyson thinks Jermall Charlo should fight David Benavidez - not wait for Canelo Alvarez

Mike Tyson wants to see Jermall Charlo take on David Benavidez rather than waiting for Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez.

Charlo, the twin brother of Jermell Charlo, has long been chasing a boxing match with Canelo Alvarez.

But the Mexican is currently booked to face Dmitry Bivol on May 7 at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.

Charlo meanwhile will face Maciej Sulecki a month later on June 18 at a location to be announced.

The American made an appearance on Tyson’s Hotboxin’ podcast to promote his next fight.

He will be making the sixth defence of the WBC middleweight title he won against Hugo Centeno Jr in New York in April 2018.

Charlo was recently linked to a Jaime Munguia fight when the pair were both weighing up their next moves, but a deal could not be reached.

But Tyson thinks Charlo should instead fight Benavidez while he waits for a shot at Canelo.

Charlo said: “I ain’t got no friends in boxing, it’s just me and my brother.

“I don’t know nothing about that friend stuff.”

Tyson added: “Then you should be calling everybody out.”

Charlo interrupted: “That’s what we do. We’re the Charlo twins. We’re known for calling everybody out.

“We’ve been calling Canelo out for five or six years already.”

Tyson responded: “Then fight the next best guy, the Mexican monster.”

Charlo replied: “Who?”

Tyson continued: “Benavidez.”

Charlo retorted: “He ain’t no Mexican monster.”

Tyson: Because everybody’s scared of him, nobody’s fighting him.”

Charlo insisted: “Nobody’s scared of him. We box, we’re
