It’s official, Canelo Alvarez and Jaime Munguia will clash on May 4, and Oscar De La Hoya is excited for the fight.
The former promoter of Canelo and the man currently guiding Munguia’s career knows what it takes to feature in a huge fight, and he’s giving this battle his seal of approval.
Canelo will put his super-middleweight world titles on the line when he faces his fellow Mexican in what promises to be an explosive encounter.
Munguia has already tasted action this year after stopping John Ryder in January and that performance has proven to be the platform to face Canelo.
“With two Mexican fighters at this elite level, we’re in for a special treat,” said De La Hoya when speaking at the press conference to announce the fight.
“What makes me most proud is that the world will truly be watching. We can’t wait to see everyone there on May 4.”
