To Sean Jones:<\/strong> Golden Boy executive Eric Gomez says middleweight Jaime Munguia is interested in fighting Dmitry Bivol in 2023 and is willing to move up to 175 to make that happen.<\/p>\n According to Gomez, the 26-year-old Munguia (41 wins, 33 KOs) is struggling to hit the 160-pound limit and will easily move up to 175 pounds to challenge for Bivol’s WBA light heavyweight title. can do.<\/p>\n Bivol has said he’s open to going down to 168 for a Canelo Alvarez rematch, so if fighting Munguia is worth it, he could do the same.<\/p>\n It’s unclear how much interest fans have in fighting Munguia and the untested 10-year pro Munguia, who has never fought a notable figure in her long career. The best man to have fought by now was 2021 journeyman Gabe Rosado.<\/p>\n Munguia promoter Fernando Beltran of Zanfer Promotions is also interested in fighting Bivol (21-0, 11 KOs) for his fighter.<\/p>\n “Attention is also focused on the battle with Vivol,<\/strong><\/em> It’s one of the matches that Jaime is very interested in. All he wants is a big fight this year.<\/p>\n Bivol promoter Eddie Hearn of Matchroom Boxing hopes to face WBA No. 1 Joshua Buatsi in April. For American fans who have never seen or heard of Buatzi, the fight is of no use.<\/p>\n American hardcore boxing fans know him, so a much better fight for Bivol would be against Munguia, and it’s a match that attracts some casuals.<\/p>\n “People who think it’s crazy think he’s [Mungu\u00eda] Although they have fought at middleweight, Jaime and Fernando Bertrand themselves [Zanfer president] Seeing what they like, Jaime is big and very strong. He has to work hard to reach 160. \u201d<\/em><\/strong> Gomez said.<\/p>\n Munguia is huge in the 160-pound division and clearly needs to fight at least 168 pounds.<\/p>\n![\"YouTube](\"https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/QGTCLaQHC1o\/hqdefault.jpg\")
