“For me, this is a big challenge and a huge motivation. These are the kinds of fights I’ve always dreamed about – facing the best names in the sport and proving that I belong at this level. ” “I’m very excited to be back, especially to fight for a world title against a fellow Mexican,” said Munguía.

“I’m truly grateful to my team, and everyone who made this fight possible. We’re ready to come out victorious on this great night for Mexico! ” Down at 140, Oscar Duarte (30-2-1, 23 KO) faces Angel Fierro (23-4-2, 18 KO) in a slugfest that could very easily steal the show.

Duarte, 4-0 since a one-punch knockout loss to Ryan Garcia, recently missed out on a title shot against Richardson Hitchins. Duarte is 1-3 in his last four, but that run includes an absolute war with “Pitbull” Cruz and, more recently, a disqualification for kicking . “I’m very happy and motivated for this fight on May 2 in Las Vegas,” said Duarte.
