Fingers crossed, it's been almost five years since former super-middleweight world champion Jaime Mongua last competed in his hometown of Tijuana. This weekend, Jaime Mongua will return to his hometown ring to defend his WBO Intercontinental Title against unbeaten middleweight boxer Demetrius Ballard. The match will be held in Jaime Mongua's hometown of Plaza de Memora Dijuana, and streaming platform DAZN will broadcast live to the world.
James Mongua, who was already doing his final adaptation training locally, gave a phone interview to Zoom, in which Jaime Mongua told reporters: "I grew up near the venue where the competition was held, and I remember coming to Soto's game as a child, and the whole game was filled with spectators. At that time, I was thinking that one day I was going to play in this place, and I was going to let my fans sit all over this scene. ”
The match was jointly promoted by Golden Boy Boxing Promotion and DAZN, and was the second time to play in Mexico after James Monguia signed golden boy boxing promotion. The venue for the Jaime Mongua tournament is Mexico's famous boxing mecca, which has witnessed Boxing Hall of Famer Soto defending his title in 2009, the continuous progress of the famous boxing second generation Chavez Jr., and the professional boxing debut of former heavyweight world boxing champion Andy Ruiz Jr.
Because Golden Boy Boxing Promotion Company was founded by boxing star Oscar de la Joa, because of his Mexican background, Golden Boy Boxing Promotion Company has always attached great importance to developing the Mexican market, especially after reaching a cooperation agreement with DAZN in 2018, with the blessing of online media, Golden Boy Boxing Promotion Company's influence in Mexico is even more powerful.
It is precisely because of these two big backers that James Mongua's agent, Fernando Beltran, CEO of Zanfer Boxing, was very optimistic about the game in an interview with reporters. He told reporters: "I estimated that nearly 23,000 boxing fans are expected to come to the scene to watch the battle. We are also confident that we can attract these fans with the personal influence of Jaime Mongua. This will be an astonishing attendance rate for mexico as a whole. I hope that the video of this competition can be disseminated through the Internet to the United States, and in the future, it can attract boxing fans in Southern California to watch boxing matches here. It's a great city and a place where boxers on both sides of the border can relax and party. ”
Unlike many Professional Mexican boxers, Jaime Mongua played regular amateur boxing in Mexico for a long time. So very famous in the local area. Jaime Mongua won gold and bronze medals at the Mexican National Boxing Championships and was selected for the Mexican boxing national team at the London 2012 Olympics, but was eventually eliminated for being too young. James Mongua began his career because he did not understand the mexican boxing association's approach.
The 25-year-old Jaime Mongua currently has a professional record of 38 wins and 30 knockouts, and has won the WBO World Boxing Championship title in the super middleweight. After moving into the middleweights, Jaime Mongua has been looking for opportunities to challenge the title of World Boxer.
