Fight Countdown to the Canelo Alvarez vs Jaime Munguia showdown that takes place on May 4th 2023.

The all-Mexican showdown, to celebrate Cinco De Mayo, will involve the undisputed super middleweight champion, Canelo, defending his four world title belts against Munguia - who has been knocking on the door for a shot at Canelo for some time.

Munguia, previously been a world champion at super-welterweight, became one of the top contenders of division after beating Sergiy Derevyanchenko in one of the best fights of 2023. And in the early part of 2024, outshined Canelo's attempts against John Ryder by stopping the tough Briton in the 9th round.

This latest triumph put Munguia in the prime position to be selected by Canelo - who is constantly on the lookout for worthy opposition.

And though the boxing audience will have been hoping for a Canelo vs Benavidez showdown, the decision to instead clash with Munguia may deliver a more fan-friendly fight.
