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.
