Matchroom\u2019s chairman wants Pacheco to challenge the WBA super middleweight champion in November after his stoppage win over Immanuwel Aleem<\/p>\n

Eddie Hearn wants Diego Pacheco to fight WBA super middleweight champion Jaime Munguia in November after Saturday night\u2019s stoppage of Immanuwel Aleem. The proposed title fight would give Pacheco his first shot at a world championship and could set up a future clash with Canelo Alvarez.<\/p>\n

Rather than discussing another stay-busy fight, Hearn immediately shifted the conversation toward a world title opportunity in front of Pacheco\u2019s hometown fans.<\/p>\n

\u201cIs there a better fight than Diego Pacheco against Jaime Munguia for the world super middleweight title?\u201d Hearn said to DAZN Boxing after the fight. \u201cHe made the smart decision. We will be back around November time, and we will be back here. We want to be back in this arena and against another big name.\u201d<\/p>\n

Pacheco (26-0, 19 KOs) looked sharp in his first fight with veteran trainer Buddy McGirt, controlling Aleem behind a disciplined jab before forcing the referee to stop the contest in the 11th round. The victory strengthened his standing at 168 pounds and gave Matchroom another opportunity to push him into the title picture.<\/p>\n

Hearn also revealed the longer-term plan if a Munguia fight can be finalized.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhether it\u2019s for the world championship in November or in the spring of 2027, you will see Diego fight for the world championship. If we can get Jaime Munguia, we\u2019ll beat him, then we\u2019ll face Canelo Alvarez as well.\u201d<\/p>\n

A matchup between Pacheco and Munguia would match one of the division\u2019s fastest-rising contenders against an established champion while giving Pacheco the biggest opportunity of his career. If Hearn succeeds in making the fight for November in Carson, a victory would position the 25-year-old Los Angeles native for an even bigger showdown with Canelo Alvarez.<\/p>\n
