"This fight will be full of non-stop
action. It will be a war that fight fans will enjoy and a new exciting chapter
in the classic Mexico vs. Puerto Rico boxing rivalry," said Oscar De La
Hoya, Chairman, and CEO of Golden Boy. "Both fighters are coming off of
spectacular performances and knock-out victories that showed their power,
speed, and resilience. Jaime Munguia is a super-star; he has all the
elements that make a fighter great. He's already conquered the junior
middleweight division and is on his way to conquer the middleweight
division. But this is going to be a big test for him because Gabriel
Rosado is a dangerous fighter, he has never backed down from a challenge. He
has faced and gone the distance with some of the toughest fighters in the
middleweight division. This is truly a 'Fight of the Year' contender, a fight
that fans will remember for years to come."
"As always, Golden Boy continue to
deliver world class matchmaking in what's set to be a brilliant night of boxing
in November between Jaime Munguia and Gabriel Rosado" said Ed Breeze, EVP
Rights at DAZN. "After a clinical performance against Szeremeta in June,
Munguia puts it all on the line again, this time against a fan favorite and one
of the toughest men in the sport of boxing, Gabriel Rosado. We cannot wait to
bring this fight to fans around the world, live exclusively on DAZN."
“Rosado is a dangerous fighter with a lot of
experience,” said Munguia. “He is a formidable rival that we have to prepare to
be stronger and more intelligent in the ring. He has had the
opportunity to fight with great fighters, the best in the middleweight division.
I am going to give this fight 100% and as always, give a great fight for fans
on November 13.”
“I'm excited about this fight. It’s a fight in
high demand,” said Rosado. “I respect Munguia as a fighter and I
will bring my best and I am confident I will be victorious. My last fight I
think will end up being ‘Knock-out of the Year,’ and I plan on making this
upcoming bout ‘The Fight of the Year.’ Time to make history. Team KGR!!”
Ranked as one of the top middleweights in the
world, Jaime Munguia will have a big challenge in facing “King” Gabriel
Rosado. One of the most exciting fighters to come out of Tijuana,
Mexico, Munguia is a rising boxing super-star in the middleweight division. He
has already conquered the junior middleweight division with a former world
title and five defenses against Liam “Beefy” Smith, Brandon “Bad Boy” Cook,
Takeshi Inoue, Dennis Hogan, and Patrick Allotey. Now, Munguia hopes to
continue his undefeated streak as he trains under the tutelage of Hall of Famer
Erik “El Terrible” Morales as he continues to climb the ranks and prove he is
