If Gervonta Davis-Ryan Garcia proved the biggest fight of 2023, then on Wednesday of fight week, Saul Alvarez-Jaime Munguia is starting to feel bigger.




LAS VEGAS – In a recent interview, Golden Boy Promotions founder Oscar De La Hoya said Canelo Alvarez “didn’t want to deal with me” in negotiations because “he doesn’t like the attention taken away from him.” De La Hoya, who promoted Alvarez (60-2-2, 39 KOs) from 2010 until their contractual split following victories in four weight classes, said he’s anticipating something beyond the thrill of watching the De La Hoya-promoted Jaime Munguia upset Alvarez in their Saturday night bout for the undisputed super-middleweight title.

Oscar De La Hoya has predicted a “changing of the guard” when on Saturday Jaime Munguia challenges Saul Alvarez for the undisputed super middleweight title.

With Saul Alvarez set to face Jaime Munguia on May 4 – the first time "Canelo" and Oscar De La Hoya have collaborated on a fight since 2020 – the fighter is mincing no words about the promoter.

Whether or not Oscar De La Hoya’s building up for a U.S. version of the “5 vs. 5” tournament that Eddie Hearn has lined up for June 1 in Saudi Arabia with rival British promoter Frank Warren, the gloves are off because of Hearn taking the lead role in the stacked Aug. 3 card in Los Angeles.

FRESNO, CALIF. - U.S. Olympian and former unified super lightweight world champion Jose Ramirez (28-1, 18 KOs) and undefeated super welterweight world title contender Vergil Ortiz Jr. (20-0, 20 KOs) of Grand Prairie, discussed their upcoming doubleheader tonight April 27 featuring Jose Ramirez vs. Rances Barthelemy and Vergil Ortiz Jr. vs. Thomas Dulorme. The event will take place live from the Save Mart Center in Fresno, California, and broadcast worldwide on DAZN.
