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.

WBA interim super middleweight champion Brian Magee (35-4-1, 24KOs) will defend the title February 25 in Copenhagen against resurrected Danish veteran Rudy Markussen (37-2, 24KOs), according to irish-boxing.com. The website quotes Magee´s manager Pat Magee, who says he expects the deal to be finalized within the next week. The fight is not confirmed by neither Sauerland Event or promoter Mogens Palle, who claims to have options on Magee´s next three fights following the Irishman´s stoppage win over Mads Larsen.
