Canelo Alvarez is ready to fight Jaime Munguia in a very special weekend with Cinco de Mayo looming. It’s a massive showdown at Las Vegas for the undisputed super middleweight title.

As is often the case in these spectacular boxing events, one of the big questions for thousands of fans is who will sing the Mexican national anthem. In recent years, Canelo has always been known for choosing tremendous surprises before his fights.

Danna Paola took the stage in his most recent combat against Jermell Charlo and, when he faced John Ryder, Peso Pluma was the favorite to step into the ring, although Saul Alvarez decided in the end to support another great talent, Beto Vega.
