David Benavidez has no shortage of HUGE fights on his radar. In an exclusive interview with BoxingScene, Jose Benavidez Sr. makes it clear that David still wants the biggest names at 175lbs including Dmitry Bivol and Artur Beterbiev. Benavidez has previously said those are two fights he wants to make as he pursues more titles and major challenges. But there’s another name that could make things very interesting: Andy Ruiz Jr. Jose discusses the possibility of an all-Mexican showdown between Benavidez and the former heavyweight champion, along with David’s plans across multiple divisions. And with a potential Jai Opetaia showdown also building after the pair came face-to-face following Opetaia’s latest victory, Benavidez has some massive options ahead.

Sources close to the negotiations have advised BoxingScene.com that Arthur Abraham vs. Carl Froch may head to a venue in Helsinki, Finland. Abraham-Froch is a semi-final bout in Showtime's Super Six tournament. The fight was previously scheduled for October 2 in Monaco and later postponed when Froch withdrew with a back injury.
One possible date to reschedule the fight is November 27, but the venue in Monaco is not available that day. Abraham's promoter, Sauerland Event, reportedly proposed Helsinki as a neutral location to stage the fight. The two sides have not reached an agreement on the date, or the location. They will continue to negotiate the details.
