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.

Rafael Marquez is not losing patience for a potential fourth meeting with Israel Vazquez. He knows the fight won't happen this year, so he is targeting 2010 for a fourth showdown. Marquez had hoped to fight Vazquez this year. That won't happen. Vazquez plans to make his featherweight debut on October 10 in Los Angeles. The first fight for Vazquez since the multiple surgeries to correct a retina injury.
Marquez plans to stay in featherweight to chase the fourth fight down. He is currently training for a tuneup in Mexico. He returned in May to stop Jose Francisco Mendoza in three rounds. There is no set date for his next fight. He had a date coming up and canceled that fight when he thought a fourth meeting with Vazquez might happen in the fall.
"I still hope we can have a fourth brawl," Marquez told ESTO.
