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.

Filipino boxer Blazen Rocilli, a promising 21-year-old middleweight from Waipahu, Hawaii, now training in Las Vegas, has officially signed a managerial agreement with Andrew Bocanegra, President of Boxing VIP.
Rocilli, who is trained by highly-respected trainer Richard Barrientes at the Pound-4-Pound boxing gym in Las Vegas, is expected to make a significant impact in the junior middleweight division with an incredible work ethic.
"I'm thrilled to be teaming up with Andrew Bocanegra and Boxing VIP,” said Rocilli (6-0, 5 KOs), who’s family back in the Philippines is from the city of Ilocos Norte. “I believe this partnership will elevate my career to new heights and provide me with the opportunities I need to showcase my skills on the biggest stages. I have a great team behind me now and I’m looking forward to my future in boxing.”
Meanwhile, Bocanegra, President of Boxing VIP, said "Blazen Rocilli has the makings of something special in the boxing world,” said Andrew Bocanegra, confident in Rocilli's potential. “His talent, combined with his massive height and southpaw stance, makes him a problem for anyone in the super welterweight division. As a tall Filipino boxer, he brings a unique style and presence to the ring that I believe will captivate fans and unite the Philippine community. In my opinion, he can become the next Filipino superstar."
Rocilli, a promotional free agent, inspired by the legacy of Filipino boxing legends, expressed his aspirations for his career.
"I want to follow in the footsteps of great Philippine fighters like Manny Pacquiao and others. They have set a high standard, and I am determined to honor their legacy by working hard and striving for greatness in every fight."
