David Benavidez believes he is being denied the chance to fight the biggest fight in boxing.

Benavidez became the world champion in three weight categories he stopped Gilberto Ramirez and won the WBA and WBO cruiserweight titles.

While “The Mexican Monster” is currently expected to drop back down to 175 pounds, some boxing fans want to see a cruiserweight bout with fellow undefeated star Jai Opetaia.

Opetaia was the IBF cruiserweight champion but was stripped of his belt after signing with Dana White’s Zuffa Boxing and taking part in an unsanctioned fight with Brandon Glanton.

Benavidez revealed after the fight that he would love to face Opetaia, but believes that the decision to sign with Zuffa prevents that fight from happening.

“It’s the biggest fight in the world, especially in this weight class. It’s definitely the fight I want. I’m not afraid of anyone. If he wants to get the fight, we can get it.

“I don’t know why he went to Zuffa. We could have had that fight right after that one… I’m not going to go there and fight for the Zuffa title.

“It would be a great fight for the future. I respect Jai Opetaia, he is a great fighter, but he has to come here for these fights to happen because we cannot organize any fights in Zuffa.”

Benavidez went further and claimed that those who sign with Zuffa are missing out on greater opportunities.

“[Fighters] they are definitely losing power. There’s a lot of politics involved. Dana White showed that he does not want to fight with PBC, DAZN.

“I don’t want to sound like I’m disrespecting them, but that’s what it looks like from the outside. If we can come to an agreement and have a large fight, let’s do it.”

If a fight between Benavidez and Opetaia were to occur, Hall of Fame inductee Tim Bradley has already revealed who he will return to win.

Begic is almost 40 years senior and has a resume full of little-known dissents. This has led to skepticism as to whether the fight is actually intended to test Sheeraz at an elite level or simply move him closer to the front of Canelo’s line. Time is critical.

Canelo is scheduled to return in Riyad in September against undefeated WBC champion Christian Mbilli. If Alvarez wins and Sheeraz wins the WBO belt as expected, the ingredients for a major event in 2027 will be in place.

Sheeraz openly admitted in an interview last week that Alvarez remains a top target for him.

“A million%, a million%,” Sheeraz said in an interview with Ring Magazine when asked about a possible fight with Canelo Alvarez. “I always said he was someone I took a lot of inspiration from and looked up to.”

Sheeraz also admitted that Alvarez currently controls the super middleweight landscape.

“It’s up to him to decide every moment, but I think in about a year, God willing, everything goes according to plan, I’ll be in a position to be able to do it as well,” Sheeraz said.

The fight with Begic reinforced the belief that Sheeraz is currently being maneuvered more like a future attraction than a fighter who is still proving himself.

His knockout victory over Edgar Berlanga gained huge momentum earlier this year, but questions still remain open about his arduous performance against Carlos Adames and the moments he previously faced Austin “Ammo” Williams.

Instead of facing perilous rivals like Osleys Iglesias, Diego Pacheco, Lester Martinez and even Mbilli Sam Sheeraz is now one win away from becoming a world champion against a little-known veteran.

This didn’t stop trust from building around him. Sheeraz even predicted that Alvarez would stop Mbilli within six rounds in September.

“I believe he will knock out Mbilli in six rounds,” Sheeraz said of Canelo. “Style causes fights at the end of the day.”

This prediction could decide Sheeraz’s future.

If Canelo loses a second straight fight after last year’s loss to Terence Crawford, the commercial value of the Sheeraz-Alvarez fight will change dramatically. The fight in which Sheeraz will face Alvarez, who is already fading after back-to-back defeats, will be associated with completely different feelings than a fight against the still energetic super middleweight king in the sport.

Sheeraz seems to be in an ideal position. All he might need is a win over Begic and a Canelo win over Mbilla for the path to become very real.

Errol Spence Jr will end three years of inactivity in July when he faces Tim Tszyu in Australia.

The main event will be the first time Spence bounces back from defeatafter a final loss to Terence Crawford in 2023 for the undisputed welterweight title.

Due to the nature of this loss and past injuries, many believed Spence’s time as a player was over and expected a retirement announcement rather than confirmation of a return.

Despite concerns that he would no longer be the same elite fighter – a concern Spence admitted he shares – the former unified champion was preparing for an even tougher test than Tszyu.

A conversation with former opponent Shawn Porter FOX SportsSpence confirmed that the long-rumored clash with Sebastian Fundora is at the top of his hit list.

“[Tszyu] wasn’t the best I could get. I’m not crazy, but I’m not ruling anything out. So I looked at Fundora, I looked at the top names.

“I’m the type of guy who really doesn’t believe in ring rust. If I look good in the gym for nine, 10 weeks, why can’t I look good in a fight? It’s a mental thing… I feel like coming to fight night and showing everyone that ring rust doesn’t exist. It doesn’t concern me at all.

WBC super welterweight champion Fundora has been openly discussing a fight with Spence, and several rumors have come and gone over the past twelve months. Instead, “The Towering Inferno” faced Keith Thurman in March, retaining the belt until a sixth-round stoppage.

If Spence beats Tszyu and looks good doing it, he may want to re-enter the talks. His return will be set at a catchweight of 158 pounds with the possibility of dropping to 154 pounds.
