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.

Photo from Han's FacebookWBA lightweight titlist Stephanie Han has become the latest recruit to Most Valuable Promotions’ growing female boxing roster, MVP announced today.
Han, 10-0 (3 KOs), was ringside to challenge IBF beltholder Beatriz Ferreira after the Brazilian defeated Maria Ines Ferreyra at Most Valuable Prospects 13 in Orlando on June 7. She joins a roll call of female boxing talent that includes Amanda Serrano, Alycia Baumgardner, Holly Holm, Savannah Marshall, Chantelle Cameron, Shadasia Green, and Cherneka Johnson.
Han's boxing journey to this point has been a long and interrupted one. The native of El Paso, Texas, an eight-year veteran of that city's police force and a former Miss Texas contestant, boxed as an amateur from 2006 to 2011 before stepping away from the sport. Meanwhile, her sister, Jennifer, began a pro career that culminated in a record of 18-5-1 (5 KOs), the IBF featherweight strap, and shots at Katie Taylor and Mikaela Mayer.
Stephanie Han helped her sister prepare for that challenge of Taylor, which the Irishwoman won by unanimous decision in September 2021, and returned to the ring herself the following month after a decade away, turning pro with a four-round decision win over Isabel Garcia.
In her most recent outing, in February 2025, she stopped Hannah Terlep inside a round to claim the WBA 135 pound crown.
Han is also the mother of two children, including a special needs daughter with Nicolaides-Baraitser Syndrome, an extremely rare genetic condition with only 200 known cases worldwide.
“From serving her community as a police officer to raising awareness for her daughter and NCBRS, to competing in beauty pageants—all while dominating in the ring, Stephanie exemplifies excellence across every arena,” said MVP founders Jake Paul and Nakisa Bidarian in a statement. “We’re proud to welcome her to the MVP family as we continue our mission to elevate women’s boxing and spotlight the sport’s most inspiring athletes on the global stage.”
