The matchup puts an unbeaten Benavidez against Ramirez in a bout that carries both belts and a clear weight-class jump for the challenger. Benavidez most recently stopped Anthony Yarde and has wins over David Morrell, Oleksandr Gvozdyk, Demetrius Andrade, and Caleb Plant.

Ramirez brings a 4-1 run over his last five fights, with wins over Yuniel Dorticos, Chris Billam-Smith, Arsen Goulamirian, and Joe Smith Jr. His lone loss in that stretch came against Dmitrii Bivol, and he now defends his position with the titles at stake in Las Vegas.
