Description

Mexican super middleweight star Jaime Munguia is returning home, and he’s coming in hot.

Munguia will take on France’s undefeated Bruno Surace in a 10-round main event on Saturday, Dec. 14, at Estadio Caliente in his hometown of Tijuana, Mexico.

Munguia will make his fourth appearance of the year in the premier venue of his native territory. Munguia-Surace and undercard bouts will stream live and exclusively in the U.S. on ESPN+.

Munguia (44-1, 35 KOs), a former junior middleweight world champion, has been relentless in 2024. In January, he delivered a ninth-round knockout against British former world title challenger John Ryder, setting the stage for an undisputed showdown with countryman Canelo Alvarez in May. The 28-year-old shook off a fourth-round knockdown but ultimately came up short, losing via unanimous decision. Munguia bounced back in September in his Top Rank on ESPN debut, scoring a 10th-round knockout over the previously undefeated Erik Bazinyan. Surace (25-0-2, 4 KOs), a 26-year-old whose only setbacks were early-career draws, will fight outside France for the first time. He returns after 2023 wins over Milos Jankovic in May and then-unbeaten prospect Jhon Jader Obregon in December.
