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.

Finally, a boxing promoter has done something to beautify boxing.
Top Rank has made arrangements with Mexican network TV Azteca for Ines Sainz, the gorgeous sportscaster who caused an uproar during a recent visit to the NFL New York Jets camp, to be involved in events surrounding the Nov. 13 Antonio Margarito-Manny Pacquiao PPV bout at Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, Texas.
Promoter Bob Arum spoke to his Mexican connection, Tijuana-based promoter Fernando Beltran about adding Sainz to work the microphone during the official weigh in and be involved in other events.
There was an overblown controversy, one I still can't figure out really given that we are in the year 2010, when Sainz showed up at the Jets camp to specifically interview their star quarterback and Mexican American, Mark Sanchez.
Sainz's outfit at the Jets training camp certainly did not seem immodest in any way but she did attract a lot of attention due to her stunning looks.
These football Neanderthals need to get over it already.
In boxing, what you wear doesn't matter.
The NFL's loss then may be boxing's gain.
Boxing writers, we welcome Ms. Sainz to our collegial group.
Mi casa es su casa and like that.
