French super middleweight Bruno Surace (26-0-2, 5 KOs) and Mexican star Jaime Munguia (44-2, 35 KOs) are in the final stages of negotiations for a highly anticipated rematch, according to ESPN insider Mike Coppinger.
The bout is scheduled for May 3 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, as part of the undercard for Saul "Canelo" Alvarez vs. William Scull, a fight that will crown the undisputed super middleweight champion.
Their first encounter on December 14, 2024, ended in a shocking upset, with Surace stopping Munguia via sixth-round TKO, despite being dropped in the second round. The fight was widely recognized as boxing’s biggest upset of the year by major publications.
