Negotiations are reportedly underway for a highly anticipated bout between undisputed super middleweight champion Canelo Alvarez and Jaime Munguia on May 4th. If the match comes to fruition, it has the potential to be a major blockbuster event in both the United States and Mexico. Salvador Rodriguez from ESPN Knockout has revealed that discussions are ongoing for a potential clash between Munguia (43-0, 34 KOs) and Canelo (60-2-2, 39 KOs) in May. If finalized, this matchup could be available on Amazon Prime PPV and potentially on DAZN.

Conor Benn (23-0, 14 KOs) expresses frustration, stating that his promoter Eddie Hearn proposed a substantial offer of $10 million to $15 million to Gervonta Davis for a potential bout. Benn suggests that if Davis finds the offer insufficient, he should opt to stay home instead of pursuing the match. The tone of Benn's comments has been likened to that of a privileged individual accustomed to having his desires met. Despite this, Benn urges Davis to accept the proposal, portraying his plea as an attempt to encourage Davis to agree to the fight by disclosing the substantial offer. The authenticity of the offer mentioned by Benn remains uncertain. Hearn has not publicly disclosed the financial terms proposed to Tank Davis. It is plausible that Benn might be speculating with an inflated figure to exert media pressure on Tank, urging him to accept the fight. Regarding the financial aspect, Conor Benn conveyed to the media, "f $10 million-$15 million ain’t enough, then stay quiet,
