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.

WBC heavyweight champion Vitali Klitschko says a fight with undefeated contender Chris Arreola will be even bigger than a potential meeting with David Haye. Last week, Haye threw the Klitschko camp a curveball when he unexpectedly withdrew from what appeared to be a done deal for a clash on September 12 in Germany, and then signed a contract to fight WBA champ Nikolai Valuev on November 7.
Klitschko has set his sights on Arreola and wants the fight to happen soon. There has been talk that Klitschko plans to return in October. HBO is very interested in the fight.
“I'll be boxing versus Chris Arreola. This 28-year-old American has so far lost no bouts, and in his latest fight he knocked out [Jameel] McCline. The interest in this fight will not be lesser, but even higher,” Vitali told Ukraine News.
