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.

Trainer Enzo Calzaghe says the long debate is finally over. When Joe Calzaghe retired in 2008, Carl Froch was furious and said the Welsh star was scared to give him the opportunity of a big fight. Ezno trained his son to a undefeated tally of 46-0 at the time of retirement, with 32 wins by knockout.
After watching Froch struggle against George Groves, Calzaghe thinks his son would have demolished Froch if the pair ever met in the ring.
Enzo Calzaghe told The Mirror: "Carl Froch has finally convinced me he is an average world champion. All the hype was fake. No more talk about him boxing Joe. It would have been like a lamb to the slaughter."
