Saul “Canelo” Alvarez and Jaime Munguia will meet in an all-Mexican undisputed title fight this weekend, as their nation celebrates Cinco de Mayo.
Alvarez will put all the major super-middleweight belts on the line in Las Vegas, as Munguia looks to take the torch from the pound-for-pound star and stay unbeaten.
At 27, Munguia is six years younger than the defending champion, though he also has plenty of miles on the clock; Munguia is already 43-0 (34 knockouts), while Canelo is 60-2-2 (39 KOs).
Munguia also holds a significant height advantage over Canelo, who will return to the T-Mobile Arena eight months after easing past Jermell Charlo in the same venue. Munguia has fought more recently, stopping John Ryder in January – eight months after Canelo beat the Briton on points.
