Boxing superstar Canelo Alvarez and challenger Jaime Munguia made their grand arrivals at the MGM Grand on Tuesday ahead of their undisputed super middleweight title bout Saturday at T-Mobile Arena.

This will mark the fourth straight year that Alvarez (60-2-2, 39 knockouts) has fought on Cinco de Mayo weekend and the second time at T-Mobile Arena.

Munguia (43-0, 34 knockouts) is the first Mexican challenger for Alvarez during that time.
