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.

BoxingScene.com has received confirmation that Edwin Valero's wife, Jennifer Carolina, has refused to file assault charges against the fighter. She told authorities her injuries were caused by an accidental fall down a flight of steps. Valero was taken into custody last Thursday after his wife arrived with a variety of injuries to the University Hospital of Los Andes in Mérida, Venezuela.
Per the medical reports, Valero's wife was listed as having multiple bruises, scratches and collapsed lung from a blow to the ribs. Valero arrived to the hospital in a very hostile manner and was taken into custody by the CICPC (The Body of Scientific, Penal and Criminal Investigations). Valero is set to go free with the latest developments.
Valero's mother, Eloíza Vivas, is backing the same story and told authorities last week the wife had fallen down a flight of steps.
