The country's boxing tradition is based on a history of constant coronations in highly commercially demanding settings.
This group of athletes maintains the tricolor representation in the official classifications of the World Boxing Association, the International Boxing Federation and the World Boxing Organization, ratifying the drag of the Mexican champions on the highest profile cards of the season.
This current list has several names: José “Chapulín” Salas, Christian Medina, Rafael “Divino” Espinoza, William “Camarón” Zepeda, Jaime Munguía and Emanuel “Vaquero” Navarrete.
The current monarchs of the bantamweight to super lightweight division
Within the 118-pound category, the Aztec territory registers a shared dominance in the governing bodies. José “Chapulín” Salas holds the IBF bantamweight crown after maintaining an undefeated record (17-0; 11 KOs) in his international appearances.
While Christian “Chispa” Medina holds the WBO bantamweight belt after winning the organization's eliminatory draws. The Jalisco native has a record of 27-4, with 19 quick wins.
In the featherweight category, Rafael “Divino” Espinoza preserves the WBO world championship after winning the title against Robeisy Ramírez and successfully defending his position in the North American rings on two occasions.
For his part, in the lightweight division, William “Camarón” Zepeda captured the WBC belt after defeating Lamont Roach Jr. by unanimous decision, setting his professional record at 33 victories with 27 fast-track definitions and only one defeat in his history.
Likewise, Emanuel “Vaquero” Navarrete ratifies the validity of the Mexican champions by holding the unified super lightweight belts by the WBO and the IBF. Navarrete has built his legacy through crownings in four different weight categories, consolidating himself as one of the active references with the highest hitting volume in international strings.
The panorama in the upper divisions and the super middleweight throne
The super middleweight division has the presence of Jaime Munguía as holder of the World Boxing Association belt. The boxer originally from Tijuana took over the crown after beating “Toro” Reséndiz in the month of May, establishing a professional record that exceeds 44 victories on the rented ground after having previously passed through the super welterweight category.
The representation of Mexico in the rings has been the subject of analysis by historical figures of the discipline. Even recently, a debate broke out over Mexican-American fighters representing the Aztec nation.
The status of the North American nation's boxing at 168 pounds could add a new coronation at the close of the competitive calendar.
The experienced fighter from Guadalajara Saúl “Canelo” Álvarez will seek to join the list of monarchs again on October 31 in the city of Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, where he will challenge the Frenchman Christian Mbilli for the super middleweight crown of the World Boxing Council.
