Get one last look at both pugilists ahead of their Mexico vs. Mexico duel pitting undefeated two-division champion David “El Monstro” Benavidez against unified WBA and WBO cruiserweight titleholder Gilberto “Zurdo” Ramirez on Sat., May 2, 2026 from inside T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada, airing on PBC pay-per-view (PPV) available on Prime Video.
Today’s presser kicks off promptly at 3:30 p.m. ET in the embedded video above.
“This is something
I’ve been working toward for a long time,” Benavidez said during the kickoff press conference. “We’ve had so many great sparring sessions and I told Zurdo then, we’ll have to do this on pay-per-view one day. Now we’re going for two titles on May 2 and I’m very grateful. I feel like I’m on the cusp of being the face of boxing. And if Zurdo wins, his stock goes up. There’s greatness on the other side of that tunnel for both of us. So we’re gonna come extremely prepared.”
“For the whole history of Cinco de Mayo fights, it’s been tremendous fighters like Oscar and Chavez,” Benavidez added. “Not just great fights, but wars. Because they never took easy fights. That’s what we’re doing. We’re two Mexican warriors going for the title. Zurdo is a top fighter. He’s a great fighter. I was helping him get ready for Arthur Abraham and we had some great sessions. I knew he was gonna be one of those guys who would be around for a long time. Eventually we were gonna do this.”
