EBU Silver middleweight champion On 16 December 2023, Surace faced undefeated Spanish contender Jhon Jader Obregon for the inaugural European Boxing Union (EBU) Silver middleweight title in the Aix-En-Provence Arena, Surace scored his fourth knockout win in 25 fights, stopping the Spanish foe in the last round.

Super middleweight Surace vs. Munguía In September 2024, it was reported that Jaime Munguía would face Ronald Gavril on 14 December 2024 in Tijuana, Mexico. On 8 November 2024, it was announced that Surace would replace Gavril. With Surace coming off a near one-year lay off, weaker résumé than the opposition and few knockout wins, few believed a triumphant bout for Surace, let alone a knockout win, was possible. This also served the first bout of Surace outside of France. Munguia was troubling Surace the whole fight, even scoring a knockdown in the second round, until in the sixth round, as Munguia seemed like he was heading for an impressive finish, Surace landed a right hand upstairs that unexpectedly dropped the former junior middleweight champion, Munguia tried to rise off, however, he was counted out.

Surace vs. Munguía II On 19 December 2024, it was reported that Munguia activated his rematch clause. In January 2025, it was announced that Surace would be having his rematch with Jaime Munguía on April 12 in Tijuana. In February 2025 it was reported that Munguia was "finalizing a deal" to face Bruno Surace in a rematch in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia on 4 May 2025. The bout occurred on 4 May 2025 with Munguia winning by unanimous decision. Shortly after the bout, Munguia tested positive for performance-enhancing drugs; his b-sample also came back with a positive result. The investigation is still ongoing for potential disciplinary actions.
