After recent lackluster victories, Mexican Saúl ‘Canelo’ Alvarez wants to ratify his status as an emblem of world boxing on Saturday in Las Vegas (United States) against the undefeated Jaime Munguia, the first compatriot he has faced since 2017.
For years, Canelo refused to face Mexican rivals, claiming that he was fighting to represent his country.

“Of course he has power. He is a good boxer, I like his style,” Alvarez acknowledged in the previous press conference.
Even so, the boxer from Guadalajara (west) was confident that his talent and experience will allow him to emerge victorious from a duel destined to enter the memory of Mexican boxing, where battles such as those between Erik Morales and Marco Antonio Barrera are remembered. at the beginning of the century.
“I don’t know if (Munguia) he is younger or older than me. But I am Canelo and I don’t care,” he stressed. “We are going to win decisively, that’s what we’re here for. Let everyone enjoy it and let it be a Mexican party.”
