During cruise at FL340 approximately 35 minutes out of ZZZ one of the flight attendants called and said there was a smell of gas around exits 2L/R. I went back to investigate. The smell was intermittent; however; it was pungent and verified by all 4 flight attendants and numerous pax in the vicinity. After concurrence with Dispatch; it was decided to divert to ZZZ1 which was below us. [Advised ATC] and we diverted. The landing to [Runway] XXL was uneventful; we were under max landing weight. After landing I checked with the flight attendants. Everything was OK; so we taxied to the pad.
In cruise the Flight Attendant called to report a fuel odor in the cabin. The Captain investigated and confirmed a strong odor of fuel near 2L/2R.  We [advised] with ATC; referenced company procedures; and informed Dispatch.  With their coordination; we landed safely in ZZZ1.
A321 flight crew reported 'fuel pungent' odor in the passenger cabin resulting in a diversion.
