Jaime Munguia will look to take one step closer to a world title shot when he faces off with John Ryder this weekend, with the pair set to meet in a super middleweight bout, with all the action set to unfold from Footprint Center in Phoenix, Arizona, United States.
The Mexican boasts an undefeated record over more than three dozen professional fights, but is yet to have the opportunity to truly put his name on the division’s bright lights following his step up from a WBO light middleweight title five years ago. He will have high hopes of underlining his credentials with another impressive turn in the ring against Britain’s Ryder, who is coming off a first loss in five bouts following his own title shot loss to Canelo Alvarez, missing out on a slew of titles despite going the distance.
