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.

Cleveland - WBC, WBO, IBO featherweight champion Amanda Serrano (41-1-1, 30 KOs) retained her titles with a dominant ten round unanimous decision over Yamileth Mercado (18-3, 5 KOs), who holds the WBC's super bantamweight title. (photos by Amanda Westcott)
The scores were 97-93, 98-92 and 99-91.
Serrano came out firing the first round and was pushing forward to force a fire-fight. Mercado was staying cool in the first and second, looking to counter as Serrano pushed forward.
Mercado was willing to trade in third and fourth, but Serrano had control and the edge. Serrano was digging to the body in the fifth and staggered Mercado with an uppercut in the sixth. Serrano cut Mercado in the ninth and punished her with heavy punches in the tenth.
