Who Did Canelo Last Fight?
Canelo has appeared in 64 professional fights. He last stepped into the ring in September 2023, where he defeated Jermell Charlo to retain his WBA (Super), WBC, IBF, WBO, and The Ring super middleweight titles. Prior to that, Canelo defeated John Ryder to maintain his titles belts, along with Gennady Golovkin, who he beat in Sept. 2022 in the third of their trilogy of fights. Canelo’s most recent loss was to Dmitry Bivol in a light heavyweight title fight in May 2022.
Who Did Munguía Last Fight?
Munguía’s last fight was only three months ago on Jan. 27, 2024, when he defeated John Ryder by TKO. Boasting a perfect 43-0 record, Munguía has 34 wins by knockout, just nine by decision.
Who is Canelo Fighting Next?
Obviously that depends on what happens this weekend. If Canelo can beat Munguía and maintain his super middleweight titles, fans want to see him take on David Benavidez, his No. 1 contender at 168 lbs. Benavidez (28-0) has already beaten other contenders in the division like Caleb Plant and Demetrius Andrade, and perception is growing that Canelo is “ducking” Benavidez. If Canelo gets past Munguía, he can silence such critics and solidify what’s already a borderline hall-of-fame-career by fighting his best challenger in years.
