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.

At Ballys Casino in Atlantic City, junior welterweight contender Kaizer Mabuza (23-6-3, 14 KOs) stopped former champion Kendall Holt (25-4, 13 KOs) in six rounds. After Holt got off to a good start in the first two rounds, Mabuza began to punish Holt over the next couple of rounds with very hard power punches. Holt was unable to come out for the seventh round. The fight was an IBF eliminator. Holt's status as a serious contender might be over after this loss.
