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.

After enjoying the four-month vacation with his family, Panamanian Anselmo 'Chemito "Moreno (34-2-1, 12 KO), current world bantamweight super champion (118 pounds) of the World Boxing Association (WBA) started training camp and arrived at the gym at 135-pounds. Moreno is scheduled to fight on March 15 at the Arena Roberto Duran against an opponent to be determined.
"I arrived today (yesterday) to the gym at 135 pounds. I thought I was going to be heavier. I also kept running and doing physical activity in the past few days, so I'm not with a lot of excessive weight," Moreno said.
The boxer said that in 2014 he is scheduled to have up to three fights. One is a mandatory against undefeated Dominican Juan Carlos Payano.
"In a few days promoter Sampson Lewkowicz will come to Panama, and we will discuss my upcoming opponents. But this year we will have a maximum of three fights scheduled," he said.
