Canelo and De La Hoya Clash in Heated Confrontation

"Canelo and De La Hoya: A Public Clash"

Introduction to the Conflict

The feud between Saul “Canelo” Alvarez and his former promoter Oscar De La Hoya escalated during a recent press conference prior to Canelo’s title defense against Jaime Munguia. Oscar De La Hoya, who once promoted Canelo, took the stage to criticize the reigning champion, prompting a sharp verbal exchange that nearly turned physical.

De La Hoya’s Remarks

During the event, De La Hoya addressed the gathered media, seemingly trying to reconcile his respect for Canelo’s abilities with their growing personal rift. “It would be negligent not to answer the man I once promoted,” De La Hoya stated. “He seems to forget who helped him become a true world star. Let me be clear, I have nothing but respect for Canelo Alvarez as a boxer. His achievements and skills speak for themselves, but he has spent much of the past two months insulting me rather than promoting this fight.”



Canelo’s Fiery Response

Canelo responded passionately in Spanish, standing up to confront De La Hoya directly. He accused his former promoter of trying to steal money and divert attention from Munguia to himself. “He tried to steal money, and he’s a fucking asshole,” Canelo declared heatedly. “That’s what I said. He’s a fucking asshole. He’s trying to get attention for himself, not for Munguia. He steals from his fighter.”

The Outcome of Their Partnership

The professional relationship between Alvarez and Golden Boy Promotions officially ended in 2020 after Canelo filed a lawsuit. This public confrontation has shed light on the bitterness still lingering between the two, with Canelo warning, “I’ll beat him. If he comes closer, I’ll fuck him up.”
