De la Hoya wants Munguía to fight Golovkin

Oscar de la Hoya, head of Golden Boy Promotions, announced his readiness to arrange a fight between one of his company's top stars, Jaime Munguia, and reigning WBA/IBF middleweight champion Gennady Golovkin.

“The likelihood of the Munguía vs Golovkin fight happening is extremely high. For me, this is the perfect fight. And I think it should take place. By the way, we have already contacted the GGG team. Basically, my goal for 2023 is to elevate Munguía to top fighter status and ultimately win the championship title. But above all, I want him to fight Gennady Golovkin,” Oscar said.

Note: Previously, Golovkin's former coach Abel Sanchez advised Munguía not to accept a fight against GGG.
