Former light middleweight world champion, now top middleweight Jaime Munguia (40-0, 32 KOs) does not lose hope that in 2023 he will be able to get a fight against the popular Kazakhstani Gennady Golovkin (42-2-1, 37 KOs), if before that, he will not get a title chance in the WBC line, where American Jermall Charlo (32-0, 22 KOs) rules.
True, for starters, it would not hurt for the Mexican to pass the Argentinean this weekend Gonzalo Coryu (21-5, 8 KOs). According to the 26-year-old Munguia, this fight is like a big risk with a minimum of benefit.
“He’s left-handed, so you have to be very careful not to bump heads. Spin to the left. Southpaw fights are always difficult, and I haven’t fought one like that in a long time. Coria is a tough guy who charges for the knockout. You have to be careful. We are going to make the most of this fight, continue to learn and work until the desired fights come, ”Jaime said in an interview on
DAZN.
Charlo and Andred didn’t deserve to fight Golovkin – former GGG coach
“The fighters I would like to face are Golovkin or [Джермалл] Charlo at 160 pounds, ”the ex-champion clearly indicated, despite the defeat of the Kazakhstani in the third fight against Saul Alvarez.
“Without a doubt, in the last fight with Canelo, GGG made it clear that he is still a great fighter, strong and relevant. Had a great fight. I think we could also have a great fight with him. And besides, he is still a middleweight champion, and I would like to fight for the title, ”said Jaime.
And here’s what the promoter says about Golovkin’s next fight: Lara, Falcao, or is it Zerafa?
Meanwhile, the WBO obligated their middleweight champion Alimkhanuly to fight Munguya. Zhanibek himself turned to the champions – the challenge was accepted, but the fight is unlikely to take place.
