Promoter Eddie Hearn is not ruling out a showdown between Demetrius Andrade and David Benavidez.

Andrade, the current WBO middleweight champion, appears likely to face Zach Parker in a WBO interim super middleweight title fight, with Parker’s promoter, Frank Warren successful in last Thursday’s purse bid with a winning amount of $1,834,050, beating Hearn’s Matchroom to secure the promotional rights to the fight. Hearn bid $1,750,000.

However, Andrade has also been linked with a clash with compatriot David Benavidez and Hearn says he will make an offer to the 25-year-old’s promoter, Sampson Lewkowicz.

At the moment, Benavidez will face former world champion David Lemieux for the WBC's interim-title, with the date of that contest likely being stamped for late May.

Hearn is interested in working out a deal where Benavidez and Andrade would have their respective fights - and provided they both win a high-stakes showdown would take place later in the year.

“The route originally was for Demetrius Andrade to fight Zach Parker,” Hearn told Pro Boxing Fans.

“[David] Lemeiux fights Benavidez and then the winners fight the winners down the line. So, we will now go to Sampson Lewkowicz and make him an offer for [the] David Benavidez fight.

“And if that’s the case then we’ll do that one or he could still do the Zach Parker fight in the UK. But, unfortunately we keep getting in a position with Demetrius Andrade where we don’t have the dance partners for it to be a big fight.

“No disrespect to Zach Parker, he’s a good, young fighter, but no one’s ever heard of him in the US. My bid reflected that accordingly, even though I lost by what $70,000, so I don’t know. Maybe we’ll take that fight, we’ll have to see.”
