In a highly anticipated showdown that is stirring the boxing world, Canelo Alvarez is set to defend his undisputed super middleweight title against the formidable Jaime Munguia on May 4th in Las Vegas. This match marks Alvarez’s return to DAZN pay-per-view following his departure from Premier Boxing Champions (PBC), choosing Munguia as his opponent in what promises to be a riveting all-Mexican affair.
Munguia, with an impressive record of 43-0 and 34 KOs, has long been groomed for this moment, despite criticisms over his avoidance of high-risk matches against top-tier fighters like David Benavidez and Artur Beterbiev. For Alvarez (60-2-2, 39 KOs), this fight represents not just a title defense but a strategic move in his illustrious career, having navigated through boxing politics and matchups to maintain his dominance in the sport. As both fighters prepare to clash, the boxing community is abuzz with anticipation, debating strategies, and potential outcomes of what is expected to be a historic encounter on the canvas.
