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.

Wembley Arena, Wembley - Light heavyweight contender Anthony Yarde (24-3, 23 KOs) returned to the ring on Saturday night and blew away late replacement Jorge Silva in two rounds.
It was Yarde's first bout since suffering a knockout loss in his world title fight against unified world champion Artur Beterbiev in January.
Against Silva, Yarde was in full control from the very start. In the second he battered him punches to score a knockdown - with the referee waving off the fight as Silva appeared to be in no condition to continue with the fight.
The bout was showcased as the co-featured attraction to the heavyweight rematch between Zhilei Zhang and Joe Joyce.
