Key stats, fight history, and breakdown ahead of the Bruno Surace vs. Jaime Munguia rematch.
Bruno Surace and Jaime Munguia will face off in a highly anticipated boxing rematch on Saturday, May 3rd, in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, on the main card of Canelo Alvarez vs. William Scull. After Surace’s stunning knockout win last year, the bout offers Munguia a long-awaited shot at redemption.
In their first meeting in December 2024, Munguia was looking to rebound from his first career loss to Alvarez earlier that year. He started strong, landing a massive left hook in the second round and appearing in control. But in the sixth, Surace stunned the crowd with a perfectly timed right hand that dropped the former champion.
UPSET ALERT. UPSET ALERT.

The result was widely regarded as one of the biggest upsets of the year and a crushing blow to Munguia’s momentum. What was expected to be a routine win turned into the French fighter’s fifth career knockout and the defining moment of his career.
Bruno Surace is the kind of boxer who wins by picking his moments and making each punch count. With a knockout rate of just 19.23%, his style doesn’t rely on raw power or relentless stamina but on precision and timing.
Surace’s amateur resume includes titles at the 2013 French Junior National Championship (bantamweight) and the 2015 French Youth National Championship (light-welterweight). He made his professional debut in October 2016 with a majority draw against Mathia Lourenco but bounced back the following month with a points win over Kamel Jemli.
Now unbeaten in 28 professional bouts with 26 wins and two draws, Surace, known as “Brunello,” claimed the French middleweight title in 2021 and added the European Silver middleweight belt in 2023.

Jaime Munguia, born Jaime Aarón Munguía Escobedo, is known for his aggressive, high-volume punching style and devastating knockout power. At just 21, he captured the WBO junior middleweight title with a TKO win over Sadam Ali in May 2018. Munguia defended the title five times before moving up to middleweight in 2019. In 2020, he claimed the WBO Intercontinental middleweight title with a win over Tureano Johnson, then vacated it to pursue success in the super middleweight division.
The Mexican’s rise continued in 2023 when he secured the WBC Silver super middleweight title with a decision victory over Sergiy Derevyanchenko. Munguia maintained a flawless 43-0 record until a decision loss to power-puncher Canelo Alvarez marked his first career defeat. He bounced back with a knockout win over Erik Bazinyan but suffered another setback when Bruno Surace handed him his second career loss via knockout. Now holding a 44-2-0 record, Munguía boasts an impressive 79.55% knockout rate.
