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.

Former champion Jorge "Travieso" Arce (55-6-2, 42KOs) is gunning for a fight with WBO super bantamweight champion Wilfredo Vazquez Jr. (20-0-1, 17KOs) of Puerto Rico. Arce will return to action on December 18 in Campeche, Mexico. The opponent is Thailand veteran Medgoen Singsurat (70-6, 48KOs).
The Thailand veteran stays very active. He already fought seven times in 2010. This will be his second meeting with Arce. He was knocked out by Arce in one round in 2007. Arce views this battle as the possible final step before a showdown with Vazquez Jr.
"I want to convince everyone that I'm ready to fight for another world championship in another weight division. I will prepare in Los Mochis, in the gym Kochules. I will show up very well prepared. I feel that I'm at my best. I know that if I win on December 18, it's possible that I'll challenge Wilfredo Vazquez for the junior featherweight title, and I want that opportunity," Arce said.
