Before he takes on Canelo Alvarez at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, USA, let us take a look at his record so far and the opponents he's vanquished in his decade-long career.

Munguia had a strong amateur background, traveling around Mexico and earning medals at its national tournaments. However, instead of pursuing the Olympics, Munguia decided to debut in professional boxing. Munguia turned pro at the age of 16 and in a little over 10 years has accumulated more than 40 fights.

With the help of Fernando Beltran’s Zanfer Promotions, Munguia debuted on July 13, 2013 at only 16 years old in Tijuana, Mexico. He knocked out Manuel Mora in 2 rounds.

Since then, Munguia has been a very active boxer. That year he participated in three more fights and won all of them by knockout. In 2014, he fought four times at the four-round level, and in 2015 he participated in four more fights and graduated to the eight-round level. Munguia scored an important victory that year by defeating Julio Nario, who was undefeated at the time.

2016 was a key year in Munguia’s career. He had seven fights that year, and for the first time he fought outside of his home state, including once in Sonora and also in Nuevo Leon, and passed three tests against experienced rivals such as Ramiro Alcaraz, Alfredo Chávez and Álvaro Robles.

In 2017, Munguia fought on seven occasions against renowned rivals such as Juan Macías Montiel, Johnny Navarrete and Uriel González, making himself known throughout Mexico. Then, Munguia made his debut in the United States, when he defeated Paul Valenzuela in two rounds in a bout held in Las Vegas.

One of Munguia's defining moments came when he captured the WBO junior middleweight title by defeating Sadam Ali in 2018.

Munguia's relentless style and relentless pursuit of victory endeared him to fans who appreciated his exciting fighting approach.

Jaime Munguia has made five defenses before moving up to middleweight. Munguia has notable victories over Liam Smith, Gabriel Rosado,  and Sergiy Derevyanchenko, among others.
