- Background: Munguia is ranked within the High 3 by all 4 main sanctioning our bodies, No. 1 by the WBO. That sanctioning physique has ordered champion Janibek Alimkhanuly to defend in opposition to the unbeaten Mexican slugger, though no deal is in place. In the meantime, Munguia will face the restricted Coria. The 26-year-old former junior middleweight titleholder, a possible star, is 6-0 (5 KOs) as a middleweight. He final fought in June, when he stopped Jimmy Kelly in 5 rounds. Coria was knocked out in two rounds by Alimkhanuly in 2020. The 25-year-old Argentine is 5-1 since, together with victories over journeymen in his final three fights in his house nation. He final fought in July, when he narrowly outpointed Emiliano Exequiel Pucheta in Cordoba. His loss throughout that stretch got here in opposition to Fiodor Czerkaszyn, a rising 160-pound contender who not too long ago outpointed Nathaniel Gallimore.
