WBA Super Middleweight World Champion Armando “Toro” Reséndiz will look to take down another 168-pound star and build off of his 2025 on Cinco de Mayo weekend against all-action former champion Jaime Munguia in the co-main event of the Benavidez vs. Zurdo PBC Pay-Per-View event available on Prime Video Saturday, May 2 from T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.

Here is what Reséndiz had to say about Munguia and more, from his training camp in California with renowned trainer Manny Robles:

ARMANDO RESENDIZ

“I have to stay focused until the final bell and give my absolute best. Munguia says his experience will be the difference, but Plant was more experienced than me too. He had faced bigger names, but I’m a fighter who keeps getting better and better—there are no limits. That’s what I want to show people on May 2.

“I’ve studied him (Munguía) quite a bit. I’ve been watching him since I was starting my climb as a professional. He’s a gritty Mexican boxer with a wealth of experience.

“Being in this position is a huge motivation and a great responsibility. I’m eager to prove that I’m built for great things and I believe that’s exactly what we’ll do.

“The responsibilities have grown a bit more since winning the title. I have to be even more focused in the gym. I’ve had excellent sparring sessions with great boxers, including Terrell Gausha.

“I enjoyed every stage, every moment, every training session, and every pre-fight interview in the run-up to the Plant fight. I was focused on doing everything with my full enthusiasm and that ultimately showed in the final product.

“Overcoming adversity defines me as a warrior. A fighter who doesn’t give up so easily. Faith has been something that’s kept me standing and moving forward, believing that good things will come.

“I tend to stay focused in the present, but I like to watch my past fights and see how I’ve progressed over the years. I watch my fights and say, ‘I know what I was thinking at that moment, but maybe it wasn’t the right thing.’ It inspires me to keep improving and learning new things.”
