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.

Youtube star KSI believes that he must return to the ring for the sole purpose of ending the boxing run of social media rival Jake Paul.
In 2019, KSI won a controversial six round split decision over older brother Logan Paul.
Jake Paul turned pro the following year.
At that time, streaming app DAZN was trying to build up a fight between the younger Paul and KSI - but then the coronavirus pandemic hit.
In fact, KSI confronted Paul in the aftermath of his pro debut and they were separated after a heated face to face exchange of verbal jabs.
While KSI remained inactive, Paul aligned himself with the Triller app, who financially backed his last two pay-per-view appearances.
Jake Paul has now become a legitimate draw on the boxing stage, with the news recently breaking that he signed a promotional deal with Showtime Sports.
Last month, Paul did big business on pay-per-view when he blasted out MMA veteran Ben Askren in one round.
He intends to fight again, now under Showtime, in the coming months.
KSI, 27-years-old, is tired of seeing the non-stop headlines on Jake Paul.
He wants to get him in the ring - with the motivated goal of ending Paul's run by knocking him out.
"I'm going to fight Jake Paul, I want to fight Jake. There's a part inside of me that feels like I need to f--- him up," KSI said.
"I know he's gonna be harder than Logan, but I'm knocking him out. Jake is still thriving and it pisses me off. Soon I will be the one to end this all."
