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.

Amir Khan is the only fighter to have shared the ring with both Canelo Alvarez and Terence Crawford, and now he is offering his take on who comes out on top when the two meet on September 13.
“I do lean more towards Crawford in this fight because he’s the fresher fighter. He’s not been in too many wars like Canelo’s been in,” Khan told Sky Sports Boxing.
Khan acknowledged both men are great fighters, but noted Alvarez’s “slow feet” and said he was “easier to hit” than expected, while also crediting him for having quicker hands than he anticipated, along with his power.
