### Munguía Returns to Tijuana
Tijuana-born boxer Jaime Munguía is set to fight at the local football stadium this December against Ronald Gavril. This upcoming bout follows his decisive victory over Erik Bazinyan in Phoenix, Arizona, where Munguía secured a knockout in the tenth round.
At 27 years old, Munguía recently bounced back after a loss to “Canelo” Álvarez by recording a significant win, bringing his record to 44 victories, 34 of them by knockout, and just one defeat. His opponent, Ronald Gavril, has a solid track record with 25 wins, including 20 by knockout, and three losses. Gavril comes into this fight with seven consecutive victories, having rebounded from two losses to David Benavidez in 2017 and 2018 for the interim WBC super middleweight title. His most recent win was against Carlos Mollejo Montijo earlier this year.
If confirmed, this fight will be Munguía’s fourth in 2024. Earlier in the year, he defeated John Ryder and was defeated by “Canelo” Álvarez before his recent win against Bazinyan. Looking forward to 2025, Munguía has expressed interest in fighting top names like Caleb Plant and Edgar Berlanga, both of whom have previously faced “Canelo”.
“Let’s see what’s best for us moving forward. There are great fighters in the 168-pound division, including Caleb Plant, Edgar Berlanga, Christian Mbilli. There are a lot of big names, and we’re ready for big fights. I’d like to face Berlanga or Plant next year,” Munguía stated.
