Munguia Promises Fight with Benavidez

Contender for the undisputed super middleweight world title (up to 76,2 kg), Jaime Munguia (43-0, 34 KOs), stated that he is ready for a championship bout against David Benavidez (28-0, 24 KOs) if he wins against Mexican champion Saul "Canelo" Alvarez (60-2-2, 39 KOs).

- Will you fight David Benavidez for the undisputed championship? Will he be your next opponent?

- Yes. Let's first take care of the next fight. If my hand is raised in the fight with Canelo, I will fight Benavidez or anyone else, Munguia responded during an interview.

The fight between Munguia and Canelo is scheduled for May 4th in Las Vegas. Besides the undisputed status, a unique WBC belt will also be at stake.

David Benavidez is called the most desired opponent for Saul "Canelo" Alvarez. Having not received a response to his challenge, Benavidez decided to try to win a belt in a new division—on June 15th, David will meet Oleksandr Gvozdyk in a fight for the WBC interim light heavyweight title (up to 79,4 kg).
