When is Canelo Alvarez vs. Jaime Munguia? Fight date, start time, PPV price, odds & card for 2024 boxing fight

Boxing fans waited for Canelo Alvarez’s next move with extreme interest.

Finally, they have their answer: Canelo will compete in a Mexico vs. Mexico showdown, but not against expected challenger David Benavidez. Instead, Canelo will face a young star competing in the biggest fight of his career.

Canelo is set to fight Jaime Munguia on May 4, defending his status as undisputed super middleweight champion. The fight will air on Amazon Prime Video and take place in T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.

The event will not be hosted by Golden Boy, where Munguia is signed. It will fall under Canelo’s deal with Premier Boxing Champions. Canelo confirmed the fight on social media after ESPN first reported it.

A four-division champion, Canelo turned pro in 2005. He has beaten several of the sport’s best, including Shane Mosley, Miguel Cotto and Gennady Golovkin. In less than 11 months, Canelo became the undisputed super middleweight champion, beating Callum Smith, Billy Joe Saunders and Caleb Plant. He failed to capture light heavyweight gold a second time in his career, losing to Dmitry Bivol in May 2022. That was his first loss since 2013 against Floyd Mayweather, ending a 16-fight unbeaten streak.

Canelo rebounded by beating Golovkin in a trilogy contest. After undergoing wrist surgery, Canelo returned in May, beating John Ryder to retain his titles. He embarrassed Jermell Charlo in September, and many expected him to face his brother Jermall.

The last time Canelo fought a Mexican fighter came in 2017, when he beat Julio Cesar Chavez Jr.

Munguia turned pro in 2013. He claimed super welterweight gold when he beat Sadam Ali in 2018 for the WBO belt. The Mexican fighter defended the title against Liam Smith, Takashi Inoue and Dennis Hogan. Moving to middleweight and then super middleweight, Munguia only fought once in 2023, beating Sergiy Derevyanchenko in June. His last fight was a statement-making TKO win against Ryder in January.
