David Benavidez is set to challenge for world titles at a third separate weight.

The WBC light heavyweight champion steps up to 200lbs on May 2 to take on Gilberto 'Zurdo' Ramirez for his WBA and WBO cruiserweight titles.

Premier Boxing Champions and Golden Boy Promotions will co-promote the event, which is set take place at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.

The bout will be broadcast live on Amazon Prime PPV, with a launch press conference scheduled for Saturday in Sin City.

Ramirez (48-1) enjoyed a lengthy reign as WBO super middleweight champion before moving up to light heavyweight and then settling at cruiserweight.

He comes into the fight fresh off a points victory over Yuniel Dorticus on the Jake Paul vs Julio Cesar Chavez Jr undercard on June 28.
