David Benavidez Maps Multi-Division Campaign Targeting Heavyweight Debut Against Andy Ruiz Jr

A Multi-Division Roadmap

David Benavidez's father and trainer, Jose Benavidez Sr, has outlined an ambitious roadmap that includes cruiserweight bouts against Michal Cieslak and Jai Opetaia, a move back to light heavyweight against Dmitry Bivol or Artur Beterbiev, and an eventual move to the heavyweight division.

Speaking to ProBox TV, Jose Benavidez Sr acknowledged that the multi-fight scenario is currently a dream, yet maintained that these matchups are very possible to make and that facing Andy Ruiz Jr would represent a great opportunity.

The Recent Form of Andy Ruiz Jr

Targeted as the opponent for Benavidez's prospective heavyweight debut, former world champion Andy Ruiz Jr recently returned from a two-year hiatus from the ring, suffering a defeat against Damian Knyba.

The execution of this multi-division plan remains subject to upcoming tests, as David Benavidez must navigate dangerous challenges at cruiserweight and light heavyweight before any heavyweight bout against Ruiz can materialize.
