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.

Experienced trainer, Rudy Perez traveled on Monday to Puerto Rico to devote himself to preparing the Argentine fighter Marco "Chino" Maidana for his upcoming fight on August 27 against former multi-division champion Robert "The Ghost" Guerrero. Maidana will defend the WBA's interim title at junior welterweight.
"We will carry out a great preparation for Maidana and he's going to arrive in perfect condition for his fight. Just as we did in his previous fight with Erik Morales, we will train equally or even stronger for this fight," explained Rudy Perez.
Rudy continued that Marco's fight with Guerrero will be very difficult and complicated because the "Ghost" is a fighter who fought, and beat, other good fighters. Perez will make sure Maidana is very physically and mentally strong for this fight.
"That is why we are mentally prepared to get that victory. We want Maidana to remain as world champion for a long time," Perez said.
