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.

Cartagena de Indias, Colombia - At the 23rd annual convention of the World Boxing Organization (WBO), Puerto Rican promoter Tutico Zabala, of All Star Boxing, detonated the rockets when he made a public statement before Golden Boy Promotions Vice President Eric Gomez - that he will win the ongoing lawsuit that was filed in a Miami court, which deals with the promotional contract of Mexican superstar Saul "Canelo" Alvarez.
Zabala filed the lawsuit against Alvarez and Golden Boy Promotions, claiming to have several years remaining on his promotional contract with Alvarez. Golden Boy signed Alvarez earlier this year.
"My company signed Canelo. The document was signed for four years and expires in two. It's in force, and also the contract can be extended if Alvarez becomes a world champion. I have all the evidence in my favor to win," Zabala said.
