The Jaime Munguia vs. Erik Bazinyan showdown marks the return of Munguia in the aftermath of his first professional boxing defeat. Munguia is a former WBO super welterweight champion. Meanwhile, Bazinyan held the NABA and NABF super middleweight titles, to name a few, but is yet to clinch a major world championship.
Mexico's Munguia (43-1, 34 KOs) is coming off a unanimous decision defeat to combat sports megastar Canelo Alvarez this past May. Despite failing to capture the undisputed super middleweight championship and suffering his career's first knockdown, the 27-year-old Munguia was praised for his resilience and valor against his legendary compatriot.
Bazinyan (32-0-1, 23 KOs) is an Armenia-born Canada-based pugilist. The 29-year-old's most recent appearance inside the squared circle witnessed him fight Shakeel Phinn to a razor-thin split draw in May. It set Bazinyan up for a pivotal showdown against Munguia, the winner of which will inch closer to the big four (WBA, WBC, WBO, IBF) super middleweight titles.
