Jake Paul is out here about to fight Anthony Joshua. Honestly, and I'm not even lying right now. That gave me more confidence for myself too, because I'm thinking like, bro, that's a super dangerous fight and he had no fear. If that man does not have fear in his boxing career, how am I going to be scared of anything in his boxing career? I've been boxing for 27 years.

You seem switched on.
David Benavidez (0:52)
Yeah, no. Yeah, well, I've been. I've been. I've been locked in for. Since January. It's about to be five months, and I've been working extremely hard. You know, this is a very big pivotal moment in my career and in my life. And I think after this fight, this is why I passed that threshold and to finally become the face of boxing, you know? But first things first. We're gonna go in there, give a great performance, give the people what they want to see, and, you know, come back home with two more titles.

That's exactly what I was gonna say. It seems like this weekend signifies a passing of the torch, right. For the Mexican people. Cinco de Mayo weekend, you're the main Mexican fighter headline this weekend. It's a big deal.
David Benavidez (1:28)
Yeah, no, yeah, it's. It's. It's been a long time coming, bro. I've been. I've been professional for 13 years. The first time I won my first world championship, I was 20 years old. I'm 29 years years old now, so it's my first time fighting on Cinco de Mayo weekend. So it's definitely is. It does. It definitely feels like the passing of the torch, you know, but like I said, I don't want to get ahead of myself too much. You know, first. First things first. Going there, get the job done and get the fans what they want to see.
