In the main event, ‘Zurdo’ is aiming to increase his winning streak to five, and defend his WBA title for the third time, and his WBO belt for a second occasion. The fighter from Sinaloa, Mexico, is enjoying his second spell as champion, having previously reigned supreme at super middleweight. <\/p>\n
However, he will take on one of the biggest tests in his career.<\/p>\n

The sole loss on Ramirez’s record came against Dmitry Bivol in 2022, when the Mexican was on the wrong side of a unanimous decision. In terms of wins since then, Ramirez has been able to pass tests against Arsen Goulamirian, Chris Billam-Smith, and Yuniel Dorticos. <\/p>\n
A win for ‘The Monster’ Benavidez would make him a three-division world champion, having already claimed super middleweight gold, and he currently holds the WBC World Light Heavyweight title. <\/p>\n
Despite the move to cruiserweight, Benavidez has confirmed that he will be returning to the 175-pound division after the bout. Already with wins in the division of Oleksandr Gvozdyk, David Morrell, and Anthony Yarde, Benavidez has his eyes on a battle for undisputed with Dmitry Bivol. <\/p>\n
Also on the card, the co-main event sees Jose Resendiz looking to defend his WBA World Super Middleweight title against Jaime Munguia, after ‘Toro’ was elevated to champion following Terence Crawford’s retirement. <\/p>\n
