In the upcoming 10-round main event, Jaime Munguia, the Mexican super middleweight contender from Tijuana, will face off against undefeated French boxer Bruno Surace.
Munguia (44-1, 35 KOs), a former junior middleweight world champion, has been on a determined quest for greatness in 2024. He began the year with a spectacular ninth-round knockout of former world title challenger John Ryder in January. This victory set up a highly anticipated undisputed showdown with Mexican boxing legend Canelo Alvarez in May. Despite suffering a fourth-round knockdown, Munguia ultimately lost to Canelo by unanimous decision. However, he bounced back in September during his Top Rank debut on ESPN, securing an impressive 10th-round knockout over the previously undefeated Erik Bazinyan.
Surace (25-0-2, 4 KOs), a 26-year-old rising star from France, remains undefeated, with his only setbacks being two draws early in his career. This marks his first time stepping onto the international stage. Surace had a standout 2023, with victories over Milos Jankovic in May and a win against unbeaten prospect Jhon Jader Obregon in December, showcasing his potential.
This clash promises to be an exciting match, with Munguia looking to continue his pursuit of championship glory after his close loss to Canelo, while Surace hopes to make a name for himself on the global stage.
