Unbeaten Bruno Surace will face Jaime Munguia in a rematch in chief support to Canelo Alvarez-William Scull at The Venue Riyadh Season, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, on Saturday.

The opportunity for Surace, rated at No. 7 by The Ring at super middleweight, to appear on such a grandiose show isn't lost on him.

"Fighting as the co-main event on a Canelo card is an incredible opportunity," Surace (26-0-2, 5 knockouts) told The Ring. "It's a real honor to see my name among such prestigious fighters, and to step into the ring just before the main event is truly exciting.

"I'm really motivated for this rematch—I'm excited to face Munguia again. He's a champion and a great fighter, and these kinds of experiences help you grow. I'm not the same man I was yesterday. I know he'll be coming for revenge, and together we're going to give the fans a great fight."

In the first fight, back in December, Surace was losing before he found a thundering one-punch knockout out of nowhere to ice the Mexican and stun the home crowd. That win was subsequently named The Ring's Upset of The Year.

"I never stopped believing in myself at any point in that fight," he said. "A bout is 10-rounds, and at this level, the momentum can shift in a single moment—we know it's all about the small details. I had been seeing the opening for a few rounds, and you could tell I was trying to land it.

"In the sixth round, it connected—and that's how the world discovered Brunello! I'm determined to keep writing the story of the Frenchman who always believed in himself."

The win vaulted him not just into The Ring's ratings but also got him significant attention that he hadn't previously received.

"For many people, it was the first time they saw me fight," he said. "I received a lot of love and kindness, and it really touched me.

"The hardest part is staying grounded and getting straight back to work—because the rematch is coming fast. This is the level I want to stay at, and where I want to keep improving."

And to that end, he is determined to show that the first win wasn't a one off.

"I'm confident in the victory because I've seen flaws in his game, and as the fight went on, I felt more comfortable and at ease in my gloves," he explained. "We've prepared accordingly, taking into account both the scale of the event and the opponent.

"We're approaching this fight with a great deal of confidence and determination."

Munguia (44-2, 35 KOs), rated at No. 8 by The Ring at super middleweight, came from nowhere to bludgeon Sadam Ali (TKO 4) and lift the WBO junior middleweight title. He made five defenses, most notably defeating Liam Smith (UD 12). Munguia then stepped up to middleweight and established himself further by beating the experienced trio of Gary O’Sullivan (TKO 11), Kamil Szeremeta (RTD 6) and Gabriel Rosado (UD 12).

The 28-year-old had conversations to face WBC titlist Jermall Charlo that ended in a frustrating stalemate. Weight issues saw him move up and edge past Sergiy Derevyanchenko (UD 12) in a classic. He stopped John Ryder (TKO 9), lost his unbeaten record to Ring/ undisputed champion Canelo Alvarez (UD 12). He bounced back by taking the scalp of Erik Bazinyan (KO 10) before stunningly being derailed by Surace (KO 6).

Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves will be broadcast on DAZN at 7 p.m. ET/ 3 p.m. PT and midnight in the UK.
