DONE DEAL: GILBERTO RAMIREZ SNUBS OPETAIA, BENAVIDEZ CONFIRMED NOW
Unified cruiserweight champ Gilberto Ramirez will defend his titles against David Benavidez on May 2 in a massive Vegas showdown.
Gilberto Ramirez, current unified cruiserweight champ, confirmed that he'll fight David Benavidez in Las Vegas on May 2. It's going to be a Mexico versus Mexican-American battle.
Before that big fight, Ramirez, who has a record of 48-1 with 30 KOs, will face Robin Sirwan Safar (19-0, 13 KOs) on January 16 in Palm Desert, California. If Ramirez, known as “Zurdo,” wins that fight without any problems, he'll move on to face Benavidez. Benavidez will move up from light heavyweight to fight for Ramirez’s two 200 lb titles at T-Mobile Arena during Cinco de Mayo weekend. BoxingScene was the first to report this plan.
Ramirez said he's wanted this fight for years. He knows Benavidez and his team well, having shared the gym and ring with them before. He respects them, but he's ready to win in May.
Benavidez, with a record of 31-0 and 25 KOs, comes from Phoenix and is of Mexican descent. He's a two-division champ and previously held the super middleweight title. Recently, he defended his light heavyweight title by stopping Anthony Yarde in the seventh round in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Before that, he won the interim belt against Oleksandr Gvozdyk in June 2024 and defended it against David Morrell Jr. in February. When Dmitry Bivol left to pursue a fight with Artur Beterbiev, Benavidez, 28, became the full titleholder in April.
Ramirez, 34, from Mazatlan, Mexico, last won against Yuniel Dorticos (27-2, 25 KOs) in June. He was considering unification options after recovering from shoulder surgery in July. A fight with Australia’s Jai Opetaia (29-0, 32 KOs), the lineal cruiserweight champ, seemed appealing, but then Benavidez stepped up. Now, Opetaia is accusing Ramirez of dodging him.
Ramirez responded that he wants the biggest fights and wants to compete with the best. He didn't even know who Opetaia was until recently. After hearing some of the things Opetaia said, Ramirez thinks he might be crazy. Opetaia hasn't impressed Ramirez. He thinks Opetaia has fought easy opponents to get where he is and that his behaviour reminds him of his ex-girlfriend.
ANALYSIS: RELENTLESS AGIT KABAYEL CRUSHES DAMIAN KNYBA IN THREE ROUNDS TO SIGNAL USYK WARNING
The Rudolf Weber Arena erupted as Agit Kabayel overcame a bloody cut to stop the "Polish Hussar" in a three-round thriller.
The Rudolf Weber Arena was packed, and nobody left disappointed. Agit Kabayel tore through Damian Knyba in just three rounds, sending the crowd home buzzing.
Kabayel came in as the heavy favourite, but Knyba didn’t roll over. For two rounds, he made Kabayel work, landing some big shots and showing he was there to fight. But in the third, Kabayel just overwhelmed him. The Germans’ pressure was too much, and Knyba couldn’t keep him off.
Right from the opening bell, both guys wanted to make a statement. Knyba used his reach, slinging hooks and landing a huge uppercut late in the first. His long frame gave Kabayel a clear target, though, and Kabayel’s known for his body shots. Still, Knyba drew first blood, opening a cut over Kabayel’s right eye.
Knyba seemed fired up. He kept Kabayel at range, pumping out jabs and circling away, making life tough for the favourite. Kabayel struggled to work around Knyba’s reach.
But in the third, things changed. Kabayel got that look—steady, relentless. Knyba started to fade, and Kabayel went to work. He opened a cut by Knyba’s left eye, hammered the body, and just poured it on. Knyba looked spent after a shot to the ribs, then took a series of rights before the ref stepped in.
Now Kabayel is 27-0 with 19 knockouts and holding the WBC interim belt. He’s got options. Lawrence Okolie, the WBC’s top contender, watched from ringside, eager for a shot. But Kabayel’s eyes are on Oleksandr Usyk and the full title. Knyba drops to 17-1 (11 KOs).
Afterwards, Kabayel soaked in the moment. “It’s unbelievable; look at the crowd. So many people came to support me,” he said, grinning. “Every fight in Germany. Let’s go.”
The fans wanted Usyk next
“I waited so long for this title opportunity; I beat three monsters in the Riyadh Season—Makhmudov, Zhang, and Sanchez. Give me the world title fight. I’m ready.”
When someone asked if Usyk could be tempted to Germany for a stadium fight, Kabayel’s manager, Spencer Brown, didn’t hesitate. “I think we can, yes.”
JESSE BAM RODRIGUEZ ENTERS FREE AGENCY FOLLOWING MASSIVE RIYADH KNOCKOUT WIN
Jesse Bam Rodriguez targets an undisputed status after knocking out Martínez. Hear why Eddie Hearn expects him to stay at Matchroom.
Jesse "Bam" Rodriguez just keeps climbing. Right now, he’s the lineal and unified super flyweight champ, and his last fight showed why. On November 22, 2025, in Riyadh, he stepped into the ring against the tough WBA champion Fernando Martínez (18-1, 9 KOs). Bam boxed smart, moved beautifully, and made Martínez miss all night. By the 10th round, he was still in total control, and then he finished it—caught Martínez with a counter left hook and dropped him hard. Martínez couldn’t get up, and that was it. Bam added the WBA belt to his WBC and WBO collection.
Now, word’s out—Bam’s a promotional free agent. Eddie Hearn talked to Rob Tebbutt at the Sportsman to clear things up about Bam’s contract.
Hearn explained, “We’ve got some matching and negotiation options on him, but honestly, I’m not too worried. We’re working with Robert Garcia and Jesse to go after the undisputed championship. There’s a lot going on—the IBF belt and Willibaldo Garcia, who just pulled out of a fight, and now he has to face Maloney. So, there’s a bit of a mess to sort out. We have to keep Maloney happy, Bam happy, and Willibaldo Garcia happy—it’s tricky, but we want to do something big for Bam at the Alamodome. Sure, things can change, but I see Bam sticking with Matchroom for the rest of his career.”
Hearn didn’t hide how much Bam means to the team: “He’s huge for us, personally and as a business. We’ve looked after him and paid him well—he’s earned every bit of it. The new deal on the table is big money. He’s one of the top fighters in the sport.”
Is Bam moving up to 118 soon? Hearn said, “Maybe. If he doesn’t get the undisputed fight, he’ll move up. The thing is, Maloney’s about to fight Garcia for not much money, but he could be on the undercard, make a nice payday, and get a guaranteed shot at the winner. Sometimes you have to put the emotion aside and just make the right business move.”
Matchroom has done right by Jesse Bam Rodriguez so far, and Hearn sounds pretty sure they’re not done yet.
