Edgar Berlanga is ready to test himself against Jaime Munguia in what would be a huge fight at super-middleweight.
The Puerto Rican puncher returns to action later this month when he faces Padraig McCrory in Florida knowing that a win can open the door for a huge fight later in the year.
Last month, Munguia sent a stern warning to the 168lbs division when he dismantled John Ryder in an impressive performance that will have put his rivals on notice.
Berlanga is hoping for a similar outing when he faces McCrory and he’s already looking forward to a future showdown with Munguia.
“Munguia is a big fight for me on the horizon,” said Berlanga when speaking to BoxingScene. “We were trying to make that fight happen, but the numbers just weren't right.
“We figured we will meet in the future. Everything has to make sense. I have never ducked anyone in my life, ever. It just has to be fair. I feel like that fight is one of the biggest fights in boxing. I feel that we should have fair play with the money.
“We should both be able to eat at the same time. It's just patience. Hopefully, that's a fight we can make this year for the fans. It would be something crazy for the sport of boxing.”
