This evening brings a highly anticipated title clash between David Benavidez and Gilberto 'Zurdo' Ramirez, as Benavidez aims to become a three-weight world champion. In a Las Vegas main event, Ramirez puts his WBO cruiserweight title on the line against Benavidez, a former super-middleweight champion who is moving up from light-heavyweight.
Fight Details
The unbeaten Benavidez (31-0, 25 KOs) enters this fight on the back of a dominant stoppage of Anthony Yarde in November. His Mexican opponent Ramirez (48-1, 30 KOs) last fought in June, outpointing Yuniel Dorticos. Benavidez, 29, had targeted light-heavyweight stars Dmitry Bivol and Artur Beterbiev, but Bivol's next fight is set and a trilogy between the Russians remains possible. So the American has moved up to face Ramirez, 34, who would arguably be his biggest scalp yet – though the same applies to Zurdo if he can hand Benavidez his first loss.
