David Benavidez

He's a great football player, and that really caught me off guard.

You know, he came, he knew everything about me, and he was being, like, extremely cool.

But, yeah, other than that, the past couple years, I think since I fought Caleb Plant, I've had a lot of people, countless celebrities, countless athletes, and they've just extended their hands showing love, and it just makes me feel really good.

They've been keeping up with the tour.

No, yeah, it definitely is a trip.

But like I said, it's more fuel to my flame and just motivates me that much more.

So honestly, and I'm not even lying right now, that gave me more confidence for myself too, because I'm thinking like, bro,

Jake Paul is out here about to fight Anthony Joshua.

Like, 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 know what I mean?

So I respected a lot from Jake Paul.

You know, I've always respected him.

He's a great dude and he's a smart guy, a smart businessman.

And that right there, he just earned way more respect from me and from a lot of people in boxing too, because he went in there and he fought a pretty good fight.

You know what I mean?

He was catching Joshua, you know?

You won a round.

You won a couple rounds.
