On March 30th at Foxwoods Casino in Mashantucket, Mariusz Wach (26-0, 14 KO), known as the "Polish Giant" at 6'7, will take on a fighter who is even bigger, Tye Fields (49-4, 44 KO), who stands at 6'8. As previously reported, ESPN will televise the bout as part of their Friday Night Fights series. Wach is familar with Fields. The two of them were working with Samuel Peter in 2010, when the Nigerian boxer was preparing for his rematch with unified heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko.
Wach doesn't have a high regard for Fields' chin and plans to test his resolve after the early rounds, where the Polish boxer considers Fields to be at his most dangerous.
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.

"There is no wool in my hands, only hammers. And when they land, the impact is hard. Fields is a great guy. He is taller and heavier than me, a left-hander. You have to be fully focused from the beginning [of the fight]. We were once together in [camp] with Peter. I watched him fight. I know all about Fields. He has a soft jaw. [Fields] is dangerous in the early rounds, but what happens after that? From the fourth round, I will dominate," Wach said.
