The bout between Saul “Canelo” Alvarez and Jaime Munguia has been officially confirmed for Cinco de Mayo weekend. The all-Mexican showdown airs live on pay-per-view from T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas on Sunday, May 5 (AEST).
Undisputed super middleweight champion Canelo Alvarez (60-2-2, 39 KOs) makes the fourth defense of his title. The 33-year-old native of Guadalajara, Jalisco highly anticipates the upcoming clash.
“I’m very proud and excited to be able to make this fight,” Canelo said. “A Mexican versus another Mexican is always a hu
Saul “Canelo” Alvarez confirmed his next fight against Jaime Munguia on Cinco de Mayo weekend. The pair squares off in the 12-round bout live on pay-per-view from T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas on Sunday, May 5 (AEST).
Canelo (60-2-2, 39 KOs) brings to the ring his undisputed super middleweight title and makes the fourth defence of his WBA, WBC, IBF and WBO belts. In his previous outing last September at the same venue, the 33-year-old native of Guadalajara, Jalisco defeated Jermell Charlo by unanimous decision.

Boxing fans waited for Canelo Alvarez’s next move with extreme interest.
Finally, they have their answer: Canelo will compete in a Mexico vs. Mexico showdown, but not against expected challenger David Benavidez. Instead, Canelo will face a young star competing in the biggest fight of his career.
Canelo is set to fight Jaime Munguia on May 4, defending his status as undisputed super middleweight champion. The fight will air on Amazon Prime Video and take place in T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. It will also air on DAZN.
The event will not be hosted by Golden Boy, where Munguia is signed. It will fall under Canelo’s deal with Premier Boxing Champions. Canelo confirmed the fight on social media after ESPN first reported it.
“I’m very proud and excited to be able to make this fight,” said Canelo. “A Mexican versus another Mexican is always a huge fight and it’s been a while since there’s been one like this. It’s great to give an opportunity like this to a fighter that’s earned it like Jaime has. It gives me a lot of joy that two Mexicans will be facing each other in such a big fight for the sport.”

A four-division champion, Canelo turned pro in 2005. He has beaten several of the sport’s best, including Shane Mosley, Miguel Cotto and Gennady Golovkin. In less than 11 months, Canelo became the undisputed super middleweight champion, beating Callum Smith, Billy Joe Saunders and Caleb Plant. He failed to capture light heavyweight gold a second time in his career, losing to Dmitry Bivol in May 2022. That was his first loss since 2013 against Floyd Mayweather, ending a 16-fight unbeaten streak.
Canelo rebounded by beating Golovkin in a trilogy contest. After undergoing wrist surgery, Canelo returned in May, beating John Ryder to retain his titles. He embarrassed Jermell Charlo in September, and many expected him to face his brother Jermall.

Canelo Alvarez and Premier Boxing Champions are discussing a reunion, sources told ESPN, after the sides split last week with two fights remaining on a three-fight deal signed in June.
Alvarez, boxing’s top star, is in talks with PBC about a May 4 pay-per-view fight vs. fellow Mexican fighter Jaime Munguia in Las Vegas, sources said.
Alvarez, ESPN’s No. 4 pound-for-pound boxer, was lined up for an undisputed super middleweight championship defense against Jermall Charlo in May. However, Alvarez and PBC couldn’t agree to terms for the matchup, which allowed him contractually to explore other options.
Alvarez (60-2-2, 39 KOs) discussed a return to streaming service DAZN for bouts against Munguia and Edgar Berlanga this year, but when those talks stalled, the champion returned to the table with PBC, sources said.

Jake Paul predicted a second-round knockout on Saturday night – he was too generous.
The YouTuber turned boxer earned a first-round victory over Ryan Bourland on Saturday night in Puerto Rico (he was accurate in his sub-six-minute victory).
Paul clearly wanted to get things over with early, striking early and connected on a hard shot to the ribs – Bourland’s left side was clearly red after the blow.

But shortly after, Paul took it a step further, piecing up Bourland in the face and making the former Golden Gloves champion dazed.
Bourland couldn’t even return with any jabs, going in straight self-defense mode. But it wasn’t enough.
Trapping him in the corner, Paul threw a bunch of haymakers, and the referee called it a night. The fight lasted just two minutes and 37 seconds.
“I wanted it to be a little longer to give the fans some more time,” he admitted post-fight.

Jake Paul knocked out Ryan Bourland with ease on Saturday night in Puerto Rico and immediately called out Canelo Alvarez.
The YouTuber-turned-boxer emerged with a record of 9-1 after his first ten pro fights, having only lost to Tommy Fury in the boxing ring to date.

The fight began with an aggressive approach from Bourland as he took centre ring and attempted a few combinations within the first minute.
Paul avoided these with relative ease though and fired back with some nice body shots.
With a minute to go in round one, Paul staggered Bourland with a series of shots which had him tottering around the ring.
Bourland did well to stay on his feet initially, but this did not last long.

With 20 seconds remaining, Paul poured more pressure on and trapped his opponent in the corner.
He collapsed to the canvas after being nailed by several more punches and the referee instantly waved the fight off.
“I wanted it to be a little bit longer,” Paul reacted, “To give the fans a little bit more time.
“But I’m just so happy to be here in Puerto Rico, you guys show a lot of love.

“I couldn’t have done it without my team.
“A little bit of shake and bake, dodged his punches, then put his sorry ass on the floor.
“He was supposed to give it to me, right? He had 19 fights, was super experienced, so I guess we’ve got to step it up even more.
“I’m ready. This is my life now, I’m on my road to world champion.”
Paul then went to call out Canelo Alvarez as he said: “Canelo, stop ducking, I know you want it. I’m reppi
The fight between Canelo Alvarez and Jaime Munguia is reportedly a go for Cinco de Mayo weekend in Las Vegas. The undisputed super middleweight champion has picked his next opponent for the all-Mexican showdown live on Sunday, May 5 (AEST).
Alvarez reportedly parted ways with Premier Boxing Champions despite that only one fight was fought out of the signed three-fight deal. According to previous reports, PBC favoured Munguia as Canelo’s next opponent instead of Jermall Charlo. Now, it appears that Munguia fight is on the table, but with a dif
Canelo Alvarez is expected to make his ring return on May 4 in Las Vegas, Cinco de Mayo weekend (May 5 AEST). The opponent challenging the Mexican star for his undisputed super middleweight title is yet to be confirmed.
Earlier this month The Ring reported that Canelo would face Jermall Charlo of Lafayette, Louisiana. According to ESPN, Mexico’s Jaime Munguia is a Premier Boxing Champions’ preferred choice.
The promotion reportedly guarantees $35 million for Canelo if he fights Munguia. The same number is not on the table if he faces Charlo. Or he could possibly face a different opponent working with other promoters.
