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.

Venezuelan Charlie Jose Navarro will go for a world title on Monday, August 30, when he takes on the world champion of World Boxing Association (WBA) at welterweight, Vyacheslav Senchenko, in Donetsk, Ukraine. Both came in looking great, with Senchenko weighing 146.3-pounds, and Navarro weighing 145.8 at the official weigh-in on Sunday.
This will be the second title defense for Senchenko (30-0, 20 KOs), who earned the black and gold belt by defeating his compatriot Yuriy Nuzhnenko on points, and then beat Japanese boxer Motoki Sasaki.
Navarro (18-3, 13 KOs), who is the current champion at the Fedelatin category, traveled well prepared and ready to address this major global chance accompanied by coaches Rigoberto Garibaldi, Francisco Arroyo and Dr. Ronyel Rudas.
The authorities in the global fight will be the Canadian Guy Jutras who will be the supervisor, referee Steve Smoger and judges Levi Martinez of America, John Coyle of England, and Juan Manuel Garcia of Spain.
