Jaime Munguia will train with Freddie Roach

Jaime Munguia (42-0, 33 KOs) has a tough fight ahead of him, and if he wins, he will get the opportunity he has been asking for for a long time. His next performance will also be his first under the direction of the famous Freddie Roach.

The former world champion in the first middleweight, who then competed in the middleweight, debuted in the super middleweight (76.2 kg) in June and won in a tough fight Sergei Derevyanchenko. On January 27 in Phoenix, Munguia will fight John Ryder (32-6, 18 KOs), and it’s no secret that if Munguia overcomes this obstacle, he will almost certainly meet with Saul Alvarez (60-2-2, 39 KOs), the king of the super middleweight division.

“Ryder is a dangerous guy, but I almost never leave the gym and will be ready for him. I'm delighted to have Freddie Roach join my team. There is a big challenge ahead of me, but we will give the fans a great show,” Munguia promised.

Let us remember that the Mexican athlete was first trained by Robert Alcazar, who was later replaced by the legendary Erik Morales.
