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 been advised by Hector Zapari of Zapari Boxing Promotions that Gilberto Ramirez Sanchez (26-0) will return to the ring on Februry 1st against veteran Don Mouton in Laredo, Texas. The fight will be televised by UniMas in the United States and TV Azteca in Mexico.
Ramirez, who is co-promoted by Top Rank, was supposed to fight on December 7th in Thackerille, OK on the undercard of the rematch between Roberto Marroquin and Daniel Diaz that was cancelled because of a major snow storm.
If Ramirez comes out of the fight unscathed there is a good chance he will next appear on the televised portion of Manny Pacquiao's April 12th pay-per-view undercard.
