Saul “Canelo” Alvarez will defend his undisputed super middleweight crown this weekend when he faces off with challenger Jaime Munguia in an all-Mexican encounter. The action will unfold from T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada, United States.
The champion, without a loss since his return to the division from light heavyweight, will put his WBA (Super), WBC, IBF, WBO, and The Ring super middleweight titles on the line against his unbeaten foe in what promises to be one of the most anticipated bouts of the year so far.
Alvarez will hope to mount yet another successful defense of the division he unified against Caleb Plant in 2021. However, he will have to contend with one of his toughest challengers to date, Munguia, who has yet to record a loss in his professional career.
A former WBO light middleweight champion, he plans to deliver on his promise across the Cinco de Mayo weekend, and under the bright lights of the strip, he might just make his wish come true.
