The team of the former world champion in the first middleweight of the Mexican Jaime Mungii (41-0, 33 KOs) claims that their ward wants to fight the WBA light heavyweight champion this year Dmitry Bivol (21-0, 11 KOs).
āSome might think itās crazy because Jaime fights at middleweight, but he and his co-promoter Fernando Beltran see something in this fight that they like,ā said Eric Gomez, one of the leaders of Golden Boy, promoters of Mungia .
In September next year, a rematch between Saul Alvarez and Dmitry Bivol should take place. The Russian defeated the Mexican in May last year, and on November 5 dealt with his compatriot Gilberto Ramirez. Right now, Bivol is not looking for a rematch with Canelo and does not consider a rematch with the Mexican star a priority.
Jaime Munguia, on the other hand, fought three fights last year against mediocre opponents and won all of them ahead of schedule, against D'Mitrius Ballard, Jimmy Kelly and Gonzalo Gaston Coria.
