Undisputed world champion in the super middleweight division Mexican boxer Saul Alvarez commented on the announcement of his fight against fellow countryman Jaime Munguia. The fight will take place on May 5th in Las Vegas, USA.
A Mexican versus another Mexican is always a huge fight, and it's been a while since there has been one like this. It's great to give an opportunity like this to a fighter that's earned it like Jaime has. It gives me a lot of joy that two Mexicans will be facing each other in such a big fight for the sport.
