Canelo Alvarez and Jaime Munguia will soon lock horns at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. This highly anticipated clash pits the undisputed super middleweight champion against a hungry challenger. However, there’s a twist. This, reportedly, a one-fight deal, is raising eyebrows. Last June, Canelo and his promoters, Premier Boxing Champions, signed a three-fight agreement. However, he left the promotion earlier this month after only doing one of the three fights. Now, he has returned to the PBC for one more fight, which is against Munguia. Will he stay for a third?

The Vegas heat isn’t the only thing rising as Jaime Munguia prepares for his May 4th fight against Canelo Alvarez. This all-Mexican showdown on Cinco de Mayo weekend promises fireworks both inside and outside the ring. However, Alvarez is not far too behind as well. He has now shared training footage from his camp. However, fans can’t help but focus on that one fight that he was supposed to fight under the PBC against a much-vaunted opponent, David Benavidez.

Sibling competition on full display

In a video uploaded on Instagram, Canelo Alvarez was seen training with his older brother Ricardo Alvarez. Alvarez recorded a session of skipping ropes while he was spotted in a white T-shirt and black shorts, and his brother donned an all-black jacket and shorts. Ricardo Alvarez is a professional boxer as well, so it was quite a wholesome scenario seeing both brothers putting in the work beside one another.

Canelo Alvarez isn’t wasting any time getting fight-ready for his May 4th clash with Jaime Munguia. While the fight date offers some breathing room, Canelo’s training is already in overdrive. But his strategy extends beyond the usual gym routines. Canelo is incorporating a unique recovery method – ice baths in frigid temperatures. These bone-chilling plunges help with muscle recovery and can help push Canelo’s physical and mental limits.
