In what will be his 25th world title fight, Mexican icon Canelo Alvarez defends his undisputed super middleweight championship this Cinco de Mayo weekend against compatriot Jaime Munguia at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas on May 4. The 12-round bout, plus undercard action, will be broadcast by Prime Video and DAZN.
A four-weight world champion, Canelo (60-2-2, 39 KOs) has been a pound-for-pound entrant for over a decade. The 33-year-old boxer-puncher has the finest resume in elite-level boxing, having posted victories over Austin Trout, Erislandy Lara, Miguel Cotto, Gennadiy Golovkin, Daniel Jacobs and Sergey Kovalev.
Munguia (43-0, 34 KOs) cannot match his opponent for experience or accomplishments. However, at 27 he has youth on his side, punching power, durability and his ambition is visceral. Not a stranger to world-level action, Munguia once held the WBO super welterweight crown and made five defenses in 14 months.
