Ex-world champion Jaime Munguya (39-0, 31 KOs) got into a difficult position after refusing to fight with Kazakhstani Zhanibek Alimkhanuly (11-0, 7 KOs). The portal bbabo.net appreciated the problems of the young Mexican star, who "lost" several title fights in a short period of time.
The Mexican was scheduled to fight for the "interim" WBO middleweight title, but opted for a different career path.
“After seeing how he became a champion and in what devastating way he did it, it never occurred to me to say the following: “Jaime Munguia does not want to fight anyone and is still waiting for this big fight.” And when I talk about Munguia, I I speak for his entire team, which may include Golden Boy Promotions, Erik Morales, Mexican promoter Zanfer and even Jaime himself, he went from young prospect to former champion, and I explain my position.
The WBO has scheduled a fight between Jaime and the dangerous Kazakh Zhanibek Alimkhanuly for the interim middleweight title. The winner of the fight between Mungiya and Alimkhanuly will remain the official contender for the Demetrius Andrade belt if the champ decides to return to 160lbs, or the champion if the American decides to probbabo.net campaign at 168lbs. The teams were given ten days to negotiate. However, due to lack of interest from Munguia's team focused on closing out the fight with Jermall Charlo, the WBO decided to eliminate Jaime from the bout.
The Mexican fighter is a member of the Golden Boy Promotions, but at the same time, he signed with the Mexican promoter Zanfer, who has a contract with Golden Boy. On behalf of Mungia, the negotiations were led by Oscar de la Hoya, CEO of Golden Boy Promotions. After the fighters reached an initial agreement, it seemed that finally the Mexican was waiting for a big fight. However, the optimism quickly faded and negotiations for television rights broke down.
De la Hoya asked that Munguia fight Charlo, with PBC paying both fighters, but for the fight to also air on DAZN, which De la Hoya has a contract with. And this despite the fact that PBC works with Showtime. Obviously, this was like a mockery of the PBC, who decided to break off the negotiations. A few hours later, PBC announced that Jermall Charlo would be fighting Maciej Sulecki. Jaime Munguia was once again left without a fight for the world title," the source said.
