Mungia to face Ballard on February 19

Jaime Mungia

Forme Junior Middleweight Champion Jaime Munguia (37-0, 30 KOs) may return to the ring on 19 February. In his first performance in 2022, the Mexican is about to cross gloves with D'Mitrius Ballard ...

These boxers were supposed to fight this year, but the American is having health problems. Ballard, 28, returned to the ring in November after a nearly two-year hiatus, defeating Paul Valenzuela on points.

In his last two fights, Munguia defeated Gabriel Rosado and Kamil Szeremeta. The Mexican is close to a fight for the WBC middleweight title. Next year he will have the final eliminator for the meeting with the champion Carlos Adames (21-1, 16 KOs).
