Benavidez Claims Cruiserweight Titles with TKO Victory

David Benavidez defeated Gilberto Ramirez via sixth-round TKO to capture the WBA/WBO cruiserweight titles in a dominant performance.

Benavidez, 29, has proven himself as one of boxing's elite fighters throughout his career, winning multiple world titles across different weight classes. Despite setbacks including being stripped of belts, he has consistently defeated top competition and earned marquee fights against names like Caleb Plant, Demetrius Andrade, and David Lemieux.

The cruiserweight victory further solidifies Benavidez's claim to face either Canelo Alvarez or Dmitry Bivol, two fights he has pursued for years. With Bivol expected to return to action soon and Canelo preparing for a September bout, Benavidez has positioned himself as the mandatory challenger for the biggest names in boxing. newssport.cv
