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.

The proposed pay-per-view fight between celebs Kid Rock and Tommy Lee has now gotten richer.
TMZ.com reports that Top Rank president Bob Arum has thrown his hat in the mix to help the fight get off the ground. Initially the offer for the two rockers to throw down was $1 million dollars, but with Arum and others in the mix, the offer is now a whopping $5 million.
"I will make sure this fight happens no matter what the cost." Arum told TMZ.
The two men came to blows in a live scuffle at the recent MTV Video Music Awards, allegedly over Pamela Anderson, involved with both in separate rocky marriages that ended in divorce. Las Vegas lounge impresario Jeff Beacher quickly made an offer for both men to settle their differences in a boxing ring. Arum has come on to help Beacher with making the fight a reality.
The fight is currently being shopped as a pay-per-view event.
