Jaime Munguia may give up his WBA super middleweight title rather than defend it against Bektemir Melikuziev. Rick Glaser says Munguia’s team is considering that option. If his information is right, the decision would fit a career that has generally been managed with care. I expected Munguia’s team to have little appetite for Bek once the mandatory fight was ordered.
Glaser says Munguia’s camp is taking a “deep dive into the idea of giving up the title.” He has not said Munguia has vacated. The WBA has given the two sides until October 21 to make a deal and may call a purse bid if they fail to agree.
