Cinco de Mayo Showdown: Canelo Álvarez Takes on fellow Mexican Jaime Munguía in Las Vegas

On Saturday, May 1st at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, undisputed super middleweight champion Canelo Álvarez will put his titles on the line against Mexican opponent Jaime Munguía. It’s Cinco de Mayo weekend and Álvarez is headlining a pay-per-view card as usual, but this time he’ll be facing a fellow Mexican.

In seven years, Álvarez has not faced another Mexican fighter in the ring. His last opponent was Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. in May of 2017. This time, he will be up against an undefeated Munguía in the main event. At just 27 years old, Munguía has already accumulated an impressive record with 44 professional fights under his belt.
