Jorge Chavez vs. Jose Sanchez Set to Open Benavidez Ramirez Prime on PPV

A super bantamweight duel between all-action Mexican contenders Jorge Chavez and Jose “Tito” Sanchez will now kick off the loaded five-fight Benavidez vs. Zurdo PBC Pay-Per-View event available on Prime Video taking place Saturday, May 2 from T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.

“I’m so thankful to be a fighter of Mexican descent competing on pay-per-view on the world’s biggest stage on Cinco de Mayo weekend,” said Chavez. “I’m grateful to my entire team for this chance to showcase my skills as part of such a huge event. I’ve worked so hard my entire life for this opportunity and I intend to put on a great show May 2. Viva Mexico!”

“On May 2, I will finally get my chance to fight on a huge card in Las Vegas and fulfill a dream I’ve had ever since I was a kid,” said Sanchez. “I’ve trained very hard to make it to this level, and I want to thank my family and my whole team for this opportunity to shine in front of the crowd in Las Vegas during this big boxing weekend. But your tickets and come out early to watch a great show.” 

Following that opening attraction will be young Mexican star Isaac “Puro México” Lucero now taking on the hard-hitting Ismael Flores in a super welterweight tilt. Lucero had previously been scheduled to face Alan Sandoval.

The lineup also includes WBA Super Middleweight World Champion Armando “Toro” Reséndiz dueling all-action former world champion Jaime Munguía in the explosive co-main event, plus top 140-pound contenders Oscar Duarte and Angel Fierro will go toe-to-toe in a 10-round brawl.

This undercard begins at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT and will precede a first of its kind Mexico vs. Mexico duel between undefeated two-division world champion David “El Monstro” Benavidez and unified WBA and WBO Cruiserweight World Champion Gilberto “Zurdo” Ramirez in the main event.
