“Right now, if Beterbiev is watching, their managers are watching, or whoever is making this decision, I am David’s father, coach, manager. Let’s sit down. Let’s make these fights happen. These are the fights we want to make,” Benavidez Sr. he told Fight Hub TV.

“We never got an offer. Like I’m telling you, we never got an offer. But these are the fights we want. With all due respect, I think Beterbiev is a great fighter, man. He’s a very threatening fighter. He’s one of the best right now. He and Bivol are some of the top fighters, but these are the fighters we want to prove ourselves and want to fight.”

Benavidez Sr. added that organizing the fight shouldn’t be a major problem if both sides are interested.

“Let’s organize this fight. It can be fought in five minutes,” said Jose Senior. “These are the fights we want. We are ready to give the people what they want.”

David Benavidez became a three-division world champion earlier this year when he defeated Zurdo Ramirez in the cruiserweight division. Since then, Beterbiev and Dmitry Bivol are often mentioned among the potential opponents of Benavidez’s next fight.

“Let’s go,” Benavidez Sr. said. “We are ready. These are the fights we want.”

“I’m picking Roach to win this fight,” Bradley said on his channel. “I think it’s a perfect match in style. I think Roach fights southpaws better than orthodox fighters.”

Roach comes into the fight coming off a draw with Isaac “Pitbull” Cruz and a contentious draw with Gervonta Davis, as well as two physically demanding fights against high-pressure fighters that Bradley says has prepared him for Zepeda’s relentless approach.

“I think he fought one of the best southpaws in the world in Tank Davis. And he did damn well against him,” Bradley said. “He wasn’t scared by the force of the impact.”

Bradley believes Roach has the tools needed to neutralize Zepeda’s pressure.

“When guys who like to get forward and be aggressive, nine times out of 10 they don’t like being tackled,” Bradley said. “Roach has the ability to do it. He has the knowledge and the IQ to be able to do it. And if he does it, he will win this fight.”

Bradley also cautioned that Roach cannot afford to leave matters in the judges’ hands, arguing that he needs to create more separation than in recent draws with Isaac Cruz and Gervonta Davis.
