Former WBO junior middleweight champion Jaime Munguia is among the most well-known boxers who call Mexico home and is considered the world's fourth-best active middleweight by established media houses such as BoxRec and The Ring.
The 27-year-old undefeated pugilist has a perfect 43-0 record and is coming off an impressive ninth-round TKO win over John Ryder earlier this year. He's now gearing up to face the toughest test of his career against fellow Mexican boxer Canelo Alvarez on May 4 in Las Vegas.
Does Jaime Munguia have any belts?
As mentioned, Jaime Munguia is a former WBO junior middleweight champion. He made five successful title defenses before moving up to middleweight. In October 2020, the undefeated boxer defeated Tureano Johnson via sixth-round RTD to take home the vacant WBO Inter-Continental middleweight title.
In June 2023, Munguia defeated Sergiy Derevyanchenko in a fight for the vacant WBC Silver super middleweight title. The Mexican outpointed his Ukrainian opponent over 12 rounds to win via unanimous decision. Munguia then secured his first title defense against Englishman John Ryder in January.
Given Munguia's incredible resume and title fight experience, it's no surprise that fans are looking forward to his undisputed super middleweight championship bout against Canelo Alvarez next month. Munguia will be challenging Alvarez for the IBF, WBO, WBC, and the WBA World super middleweight titles.
