David Benavidez

But like I said, I don't want to get ahead of myself too much.

First things first, go in there, get the job done, and give the fans what they want to see.

Yeah, I think it's been apparent that I've been trying to make the biggest and best fights happen.

Some things have happened that I haven't got those opportunities, you know, but still we make the best of what we have.

You know, obviously we wanted a Canelo fight.

That fight didn't happen.

Also, I won the belt, the WBC title.

I was next in line to fight for all the belts to unify the belts against Demetra Beeble.

That didn't happen either.

So instead of me just staying around in light heavyweight and saying, you know what, I'm going to just do a regular title defense.

I said, no, let me challenge myself.

You know, this is something we've been working on behind the scenes for like about two years now.

And I know Sudo Ramirez really well.

I've been working with him since I was 17 years old.

And I said, if there was an opportunity that I could get that fight, I'm shooting right up right away.

And, you know, the opportunity presented itself.

And it couldn't possibly be on a better date.

You know, two Mexican fighters.

This is the first time there's going to be a Cruiserweight Championship fight with two Mexicans.

And it's on Cinco de Mayo.
