Hometown Heat: Jaime Munguia-Bruno Surace Super Middleweight Showdown Confirmed for December 14 at Estadio Caliente in Tijuana, Mexico LIVE on ESPN+

PhilBoxing.com





TIJUANA, Mexico (Nov. 8, 2024) – 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.

Munguia said, “I’m very happy to be back in the ring and, above all, to be back in Tijuana. This year has been full of hard work and great fights, which has only motivated me to keep pushing forward. I want to give Tijuana a great night of boxing and thank everyone there for always being by my side and supporting me. It won’t be an easy fight, but we’re confident we’ll come out on top. Viva Mexico and Viva Tijuana!”
