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.

According to Canadian news agency QMI, a deal is nearly complete for a two-fight package involving super middleweights Lucian Bute and Carl Froch. The first of the two dates, April 14 in Montreal, would have Bute (30-0, 24 KOs) defending his IBF title against Froch, a former two-time WBC champion. The rematch, regardless of the outcome in the first bout, would take place in Froch's home court of Nottingham on August 4th. QMI believes a deal will be finalized shortly.
