Canelo Álvarez and Edgar Berlanga will face off on Saturday at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. While both boxers have been on a promotional tour discussing their upcoming fight, Álvarez and Berlanga united to attack a common foe, Óscar de la Hoya.
“Canelo” Álvarez did an interview with Molusco TV and admitted that, given his “beef” with De la Hoya, he would have loved to have faced the former boxer: “Yes (I would have liked to fight him), to give him a beating as well, but I don’t even want to mention his name. He’s in love with me, what else can I say? He talks about other things, but in the end, he closes (talking about me),” Álvarez stated.
Álvarez and De la Hoya had a falling out when Golden Boy Promotions used to promote the prized Mexican fighter. Since their “breakup,” neither has had kind things to say about the other.
