Canelo Alvarez faces Jaime Munguia in a professional boxing fight on Saturday, May 4, 2024 (5/4/24) at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez vs Jaime Munguia is the perfect contest for a blockbuster Cinco de Mayo fight night. The reigning undisputed super middleweight champion will defend his four belts against the unbeaten Jaime Munguia in an all-Mexican contest the day before one of the country's biggest days of celebration. You can't miss this Las Vegas show.
Canelo's fourth defense of his undisputed world super middleweight crown is arguably his most intriguing yet. The Mexican will fight a compatriot for the first time since May 2017 when he beat Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. and, though this isn't the bout against current WBA regular champion David Benavidez that the world wants to see, it nevertheless represents a different look for the 33-year-old.
Canelo hasn't always convinced since losing to Dmitry Bivol up at light heavyweight four years ago and though his savage body shots continue with trademark brutality, the Guadalajara native needs to look good.
Munguia is an unbeaten former light middleweight world champion whose move up the divisions has been relatively serene. Back in January, the 27-year-old stopped British fighter John Ryder in the ninth round to definitively announce himself at 168lbs and put himself as the next best option to face Canelo – after a fight with Jermall Charlo fell out of favor and no deal to be done with Benavidez – on his traditional Cinco de Mayo date.
Canelo fought Ryder two contests ago and went the distance, proving that if Munguia can box at range and start quickly – he's notoriously slow out of the blocks – then this could be a closer bout than some may think.

The boxing world eagerly awaits Saturday night as Canelo Alvarez prepares to defend his Super Middleweight World Title against Jaime Munguia. Both fighters hail from Mexico, which adds an interesting dynamic to the fight. Munguia holds an undefeated record of 43-0, while Alvarez stands with a highly impressive 60-2 overall record. Saturday night promises to be a spectacle as these two all-time greats go head-to-head, with the title on the line.
Canelo Alvarez fights tonight in a title defense of his four super middleweight titles against the up-and-comer Jaime Munguia in their headliner on DAZN PPV, Prime Video and TNT Sports in UK at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
Ryan Garcia denied using performance-enhancing drugs in a video posted on social media Wednesday night after ESPN reported that he had tested positive for a banned substance.
Garcia defeated Devin Haney, a former amateur rival, by majority decision on April 20 in New York. Garcia knocked Haney down three times and handed the WBC super lightweight champion his first loss but did not win the title because he was over the weight limit.
ESPN reported that the 25-year-old Garcia tested positive for the performance-enhancing substance Ostarine the day before and the day of the fight, citing a Voluntary Anti-Doping Association letter. Ostarine is a selective androgen receptor modulator, and its use can stimulate muscle growth. The drug is banned by the World Anti-Doping Agency.
Undoubtedly, it’s one of the most anticipated fights of 2024, featuring what many consider to be the best pound-for-pound fighter of today, Canelo Alvarez. The undisputed super middleweight champion is set to defend all his belts in what promises to be an intensely contested bout. Alvarez boasts an impressive professional record of 60 wins (39 KOs), 2 losses, and 2 draws in 64 fights.
His opponent, Jaime Munguia, also possesses an enviable boxing record with 43 wins (34 KOs) in the same number of fights. Despite Munguia’s formidable track record, he acknowledges that he’s not the favorite and will need to showcase his immense potential against the formidable Canelo Alvarez.
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.
Elsewhere on the bill, Mario Barrios meets Fabian Maidana in a welterweight contest. At the same time, Brandon Figueroa will face off with Jessie Magdaleno in a featherweight event, but how can you watch it all? GOAL brings you all the details you need on how to watch Canelo Alvarez and Jaime Munguia when the pair meet in the ring.
Given the significance of two Mexican fighters facing each other on Cinco de Mayo weekend, Canelo Alvarez and Jaime Munguia have been especially respectful of each other heading into Saturday night’s bout.
Much more so than what typically would be expected of a title fight when those going against each other often create fake controversies to gin up pay-per-view sales.
Alvarez saved most of his venom for his former promoter, Oscar De La Hoya, who now works on the other side with Munguia. De La Hoya gave just as well as he received, and at times it felt during Wednesday’s news conference as if he was the opposing boxer rather than Munguia.
