David Benavidez vs. Gilberto Ramirez is on Saturday, May 2. The main card starts at 8 p.m. ET and the main event should begin around 11:15 p.m. ET, depending on how long the undercard fights last.
Benavidez (31-0) is a two-time WBC super middleweight champion. The 29-year-old moved to light heavyweight and beat Oleksandr Gvozdyk for the interim WBC belt, eventually becoming full-time champion. He beat Anthony Yarde in his last fight.
The 29-year-old, with 25 wins via knockout, who has attempted to fight Canelo Alvarez, looks to be the true face of boxing by winning a title in another weight class in this Mexico vs. Mexico showdown.
“I feel like this weight is definitely gonna help me,” said Benavidez. “Once you get to this weight, the punches are bigger. When you combine that power with my speed, I bring something to the cruiserweight division that hasn’t been seen since James Toney. My speed is superb, and it’s just on a different level. This is gonna be the best David Benavidez that you see.”
Ramirez (48-1) dominated the super middleweight division for years. “Zurdo” lost the first fight of his career in 2022 when Dmitry Bivol outpointed him to retain light heavyweight gold. The 34-year-old moved to cruiserweight and won the WBA and WBO belts.
With 30 wins via knockout, Ramirez looks to hold onto gold against his former sparring partner.
“I’ve thought about fighting for David for about 10 years,” said Ramirez. “I think we both wanted to fight each other for that long. Now the time is almost here. David is a great fighter. I’ve been watching him a lot over the years and keeping an eye on him, knowing that one day we’d get in there together.”
