The upcoming fight between Canelo Alvarez and Jaime Munguia on May 4 has stirred anticipation within the boxing community. However, the first face-to-face encounter between the two fighters, held recently, was marked by a display of mutual respect overshadowed by underlying tensions.
Alvarez’s apparent disregard for Oscar De La Hoya, head of Golden Boy Promotions, has escalated tensions further.
Canelo Alvarez speaks out on Ryan Garcia’s puzzling social media conduct
“There was all kinds of sh*t, but we cleared everything up,” De La Hoya said.
“They [Canelo’s team] said Oscar couldn’t be part of it…f*ck you guys. This is my company, it’s golden boy. How can I not be there?”
De La Hoya, who once mentored Alvarez and facilitated his rise in the boxing world, has now openly criticized his former protege, labeling him as a sworn enemy.
The origins of the Canelo-De la Hoya feud
The rift between Alvarez and De La Hoya traces back to their once-thriving business partnership, which soured about four years ago due to legal disputes and disagreements. The breaking point came when Alvarez felt that Golden Boy Promotions failed to advocate for his interests following a significant agreement with DAZN for multiple fights.
As a result, what was once a fruitful collaboration has transformed into a bitter feud, with both parties engaging in public spats and verbal attacks whenever the opportunity arises.
This dynamic adds an intriguing layer of drama to the impending showdown between Alvarez and Munguia, heightening interest among fans eager to witness the drama unfold both inside and outside the ring.
