Benavidez Claims Cruiserweight Titles with TKO

David Benavidez added the WBA and WBO cruiserweight titles to his collection with a dominant sixth-round TKO victory over Gilberto Ramirez at T-Mobile Arena. The victory came after Benavidez had to move up 25 pounds from his previous weight class to take on what he considered the best available challenge.

The win continues Benavidez's pattern of taking on the toughest opponents available despite being repeatedly stripped of titles in the past. He has long sought fights against stars like Canelo Alvarez and Dmitry Bivol, who may now be on the horizon as both fighters have upcoming bouts that could set up potential matchups in 2027. newsbetting.bond
