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 his words, former world champion Guillermo "El Felino" Jones of Panama is eager to return to the ring.
His return was scheduled to take place on November 14 against Mexico's Daniel "Oso" Cota.
That fight has now been rescheduled to November 20th because the venue is underdoing some last-minute repairs.
Jones will be making his official debut in the heavyweight division as he prepares for another title run.
The card takes place at the Arena Panama Al Brown in Colon City, Panama.
Jones is in the final stage of his preparation and according to his coach, Rigoberto Garibaldi, his pupil has fully fulfilled the preparation plan.
Garibaldi explained that Jones has worked with Colombian sparring Santander Silgado, a cruiserweight who will see action on the same card, as well as Panamanian Robinson Aragon.
Jones, 43, has a record of 39 wins (31 KO), 3 losses and two draws. Jones has not fought since May 17, 2013 due to a suspension after testing positive for a banned substance prior to a planned rematch with Denis Lebedev.
