Top Rank Boxing on ESPN: Munguia vs. Surace will be presented live on Saturday, December 14th at 9 p.m. ET/ 6 p.m. PT exclusively on ESPN+ in the U.S. The event will take place at Estadio Caliente in Tijuana, Mexico.  In the ten-round main event, super middleweight contender and Tijuana native Jaime Munguia will take on France’s undefeated Bruno Surace. Munguia (44-1, 35 KOs), a former junior middleweight titlist, has pursued greatness in 2024. In January, he delivered a ninth-round knockout against former title challenger John Ryder, setting the stage for a world championship showdown with fellow Mexican Canelo Alvarez in May. Despite overcoming a fourth-round knockdown, the 28-year-old lost a unanimous decision. Munguia rebounded during in September, scoring a tenth-round knockout over the previously unbeaten Erik Bazinyan.

 

Surace (25-0-2, 4 KOs), an undefeated 26 year-old whose only setbacks are two early-career draws, is stepping onto the international stage for the first time. He is coming off a strong 2023 campaign, highlighted by victories over Milos Jankovic in May and previously unbeaten Jhon Jader Obregon in December.
