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.

In a follow-up to a story published on BoxingScene.com in 2008, it's been reported that junior welterweight prospect Alex De Jesus (19-1, 13KOs) aka "El Pollo" has been hit with a 4 year and 9 month jail sentence that will keep him locked up until July 9, 2014. In 2008, De Jesus was arrested in Puerto Rico on charges of domestic abuse and a weapons violation and it wasn't the first time he was in trouble with the law. He will spend his time in a minimum security prison in Ponce. He saw action last March and lost a twelve round decision to undefeated Cesar Rene Cuenca.
