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.
SHEFFIELD, England -- Former boxing world champion Naseem Hamed was arrested Monday after he was involved in a car crash that left one man seriously injured.
The 31-year-old fighter, a former IBF and WBO featherweight champion, was arrested after his Mercedes was involved in a collision with two other vehicles, police said.
Hamed, known in the ring as Prince Naseem, was being questioned with two other men "on suspicion of leaving the scene of an accident involving injury and also on allegations of attempting to pervert the course of justice."
A man driving a Volkswagen was trapped in the car and had to be airlifted to the hospital. A female passenger in the car was also hurt.
"The male suffered breaks to both his arms and a broken leg, while the woman sustained cuts and bruises," a South Yorkshire Police spokesman said.
One of the men being questioned was also taken to the hospital after suffering from chest pains.
Hamed hasn't fought since 2002, when he finished with a 36-1 record.
