WBA/WBO World Cruiserweight Champion Ramirez and Two-Division Champion Benavidez Clash! "Live Broadcast! Excite Match SP 'Benavidez vs. Ramirez'" Airs/Streams on WOWOW from 9:00 AM on Sunday, May 3rd!

Since its opening, WOWOW has continuously presented "Excite Match ~ World Pro Boxing," featuring world-class boxing with a rich lineup of commentators and announcers. This time, we will deliver a live broadcast of the title match where WBA/WBC World Light Heavyweight Champion David Benavidez challenges WBA/WBO World Cruiserweight Champion Gilberto Ramirez.

"Mexican Monster" Benavidez, a former world super middleweight champion boasting an undefeated record of 31 wins, aims for a third-division title. The highlight will be seeing how effective his destructive power, which led to a 7th-round TKO victory over formidable opponent Anthony Yarde last November, will be in the cruiserweight division. His opponent, Ramirez, is a veteran with 48 wins in 49 fights. Known as "Zurdo" (left-handed), he skillfully utilizes his southpaw angles. The question is whether he can contain Benavidez's fierce attack. This clash between the next generation of Mexican stars is a highly anticipated match.

The co-main event on the same day features an all-Mexican WBA World Super Middleweight Title Match between Armando Resendiz and Jaime Munguia. Munguia, a popular aggressive fighter, will challenge current champion Resendiz for a chance to become a two-division champion. This also promises to be an exciting battle.
