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.

According to WBC President Jose Sulaiman, his organization is currently speaking with Golden Boy Promotions regarding the possibility of having the "Diamond Title" at stake on May 5th at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas - when Floyd Mayweather Jr. (42-0, 26KOs) challenges Miguel Cotto (37-2, 30KOs) for the WBA's junior middleweight title. Two of the boxers to claim the WBC's "Diamond Title" include Manny Pacquiao and Sergio Martinez. Mayweather has previously held the WBC's full title at 154, which he captured in 2007, also on May 5th at the MGM Grand, with a twelve round split decision over Oscar De La Hoya.
