Did Peso Pluma sing the Mexican anthem in Canelo Alvarez vs John Ryder fight?

During a press conference before the fight against John Ryder, Saul Canelo Alvarez was asked if it was true that Peso Pluma would perform the Mexican anthem. Canelo is famous for giving young and relatively unknown artists the chance to do it and that’s why Beto Vega is his final decision for a very important part of the protocol.

“No, he won’t be (Peso Pluma). The one who will do me the honor of singing the anthem is Beto Vega. Anything else is a surprise. Obviously, it’s going to be focused on Jalisco and in Canelo, but, that’s a surprise. However, the chosen one for the national anthem is Beto Vega.”
