A blockbuster Cinco de Mayo weekend showdown is set as David Benavidez makes a bold leap to cruiserweight to challenge unified WBA and WBO champion Gilberto “Zurdo” Ramirez. The fight headlines a stacked Premier Boxing Champions (PBC) pay-per-view card on Prime Video, taking place Saturday, May 2, at the iconic T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
Benavidez, long known as a dominant force at super middleweight and light heavyweight, now risks his unbeaten aura against a naturally bigger opponent in Ramirez, who has looked rejuvenated since moving up to cruiserweight. The bout carries major implications—not just for divisional supremacy, but for pound-for-pound relevance across boxing.
The Cinco de Mayo extravaganza doesn’t stop at the main event. In the co-feature, WBA Super Middleweight World Champion Armando “Toro” Reséndiz squares off against all-action former world champion Jaime Munguia in what promises to be an explosive clash of styles.
The undercard is packed with compelling matchups:
Hard-hitting contender Oscar Duarte faces Angel Fierro in a 10-round junior welterweight bout.
Rising unbeaten prospect Isaac Lucero meets dangerous puncher Ismael Flores in an eight-round junior middleweight contest.
Unbeaten contenders Jorge Chavez and Jose “Tito” Sanchez open the show in a 10-round super bantamweight battle.
