Super middleweight champion, Canelo Alvarez is set for his first outing inside the ring later this year, taking on silver super middleweight champion and compatriot, Jaime Munguia in a WBA, WBC, WBO, and IBF super middleweight championship fight on May 4. from the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada.

And as for Munguia, the Tijuana native improved his unbeaten professional record to 43-0 back in January in Phoenix, Arizona – retaining his WBC silver super middleweight championship in a ninth round TKO win over common-foe, John Ryder.

Linked with a title fight against either Munguia or Puerto Rico puncher, Edgar Berlanga – Canelo’s Alvarez championship fight with the former was first reported by ESPN journalist, Salvador Rodriguez.

“#CaneloMunguia 4 de Mayo T-Mobile Arena Prime Video PPV + DAZN PPV,” Rodriguez posted on his official X account. 

Riding a three-fight winning run into his return in May, Guadalajara favorite, Canelo Alvarez added the above-mentioned, Charlo to a winning spree which includes a decision win over the previously noted British challenger, Ryder – and a trilogy success over Gennady Golovkin over the course of 12 rounds in the pair’s third fight. 

A certain force to be reckoned with at the super middleweight limit, emerging Tijuana punisher, Munguia moved to 43-0 with his knockout win over Ryder two months ago, adding the former to an ever-growing list of victories against notable contenders, which includes the likes of Sadam Ali, Liam Smith, Dennis Hogan, Gary O’Sullivan, Jimmy Kelly, and Sergiy Dereyanchenko. 

May’s title clash with Munguia will come as Mexican veteran, Canelo’s whopping thirteenth straight world championship fight – as he returns to ‘Sin City’ for another blockbuster showcase in Paradise, Nevada.

Gennady Golovkin tipped to retire from boxing he's taking time away

Former two-time unified champion Gennady Golovkin appears to be walking away from the world of boxing according to Mexican legend Erik Morales.

Originally the man that Morales trains, undefeated 160-pounder Jaime Munguia, was hoping to step inside the squared circle with Golovkin this summer, but according to Morales, it sounds like GGG will be on the shelf for an “indefinite period of time.”

“I don’t think (we are looking for that fight)”, Morales said in an interview with IZQUIERDAZO. “What I understand, what I was told by the (promoting) company, is that Golovkin told them that he is leaving boxing for an indefinite period of time. And that, if he decides to come back, he will let everybody know. So, we can’t think of Golovkin, right now.”

Erik Morales Says Gennady Golovkin is Not An Option Anymore

Hailing from Kazakhstan, Gennady Golovkin has been revered as one of the best boxers in the world over his 16-year career. If GGG does walk away from the sport altogether, he will leave with an impressive 42-2-1 record, with the only blemishes coming against boxing sensation Canelo Alvarez. His last appearance came in September 2022 when he suffered his second loss to Alvarez at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.

“(Fernando) Beltran, and Golden Boy, Oscar de la Hoya in this case, will define who will be Jaime’s next opponent”, Morales said. “We all would like it to be Golovkin, all the team, and especially Jaime. But Golovkin is not there anymore.”

It’s possible that DAZN could offer Gennady Golovkin a truckload of money to accept a fight with the 41-0 Jaime Munguia, but the fact remains that Munguia is not a marquee name. At least, not in the same sense as other potential opponents such as David Benavidez, Dmitry Bivol, and Caleb Plant.
