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.

Unbeaten featherweight prospect Emilio Sanchez (9-0, 6KOs), 21-years-old, has signed on with manager Frank Espinoza, who also manages hot featherweight prospect Oscar Valdez.
Sanchez is promoted by Golden Boy Promotions and returns to the ring on December 5th at the Belasco Theater in Los Angeles, California.
After making his pro debut in January 2013 in Mexico, and stalling a bit with his activity, he picked up the pace in 2015 with December being his fifth fight of the year.
Espinoza anticipates some big things for Sanchez in the future.
"Emilio is a very talented kid. I want to keep him even busier next year. He's fought a few times at the Belasco Theater and he's getting a good following in the area. The next fight is his first eight rounder and I hope by the end of next year to have him in a ten rounder with a solid opponent," Espinoza told BoxingScene.com.
