Welcome to Midnight Mania!
Canelo Alvarez is lower than 24 hours away from one other high-profile boxing match. This time, the knockout artist is about for a high-profile showdown reverse Jaime Munguia this Saturday evening (Could 4, 2024) LIVE on DAZN boxing pay-per-view (PPV) from inside T-Cell Area in Las Vegas, Nevada.
It’s an enormous struggle for Alvarez, who could also be slowing down a bit at this stage in his profession. In the meantime, Munguia is thrilling and undefeated (43-0), so the potential for fireworks is apparent. After all, he’s by no means confronted anybody fairly like Canelo!
It’s not, nevertheless, Alvarez’s solely conflict this week. On the pre-fight press convention on Wednesday, Alvarez tore into Golden Boy Promotions CEO Oscar De La Hoya, labeling him a scammer, thief, and asshole. De La Hoya didn’t take kindly to these phrases and responded together with his personal barbs, however he’s also threatened legal action.
Primarily based on the social media put up above, De La Hoya is at the least partially residing as much as his risk. He hasn’t but sued Canelo, however he has issued a stop and desist letter. It reads as follows:
“At yesterday’s press convention your shopper, Canelo Alvarez, falsely accused my shopper, Oscar De La Hoya, of stealing from boxers. He stated this outrageous lie not as soon as, however a number of instances — each in English and Spanish — and it has now been republished to hundreds of thousands all over the world.
You certainly perceive the authorized implications of such blatantly false allegations … He falsely accused Oscar of a criminal offense with particular intention of supposedly warning different boxers to not do enterprise with Oscar or Golden Boy. Clearly, Canelo deliberately defamed Oscar and Golden Boy.
Canelo’s statements have been additionally made with precise malice. Clearly, Canelo harbors nice animosity and ill-will in direction of Oscar (repeatedly referring to him as a “f—king asshole” and even stooping to utilizing a derogatory slur concerning homosexual individuals to try to insult Oscar). However Canelo additionally is aware of full properly that neither Oscar nor Golden Boy ever stole something from him or anybody else. In reality, Golden Boy has paid Canelo each penny he was entitled to obtain from his fights with Golden Boy … Canelo is aware of that it was Oscar and Golden Boy who established Canelo’s present market worth with the groundbreaking offers they negotiated for him. Though Canelo could also be disenchanted that his profession has plateaued since he left Godlen Boy, that disappointment doesn’t justify making such outrageous defamatory statements.
Accordingly, we hereby demand that Canelo stop and desist from making any additional false and preposterous allegations in opposition to Oscar and Golden Boy. We additionally demand that Canelo instantly retract his defamatory allegations that Oscar stole from boxers. Oscar and Golden Boy reserve all rights to sue Canelo for the damages brought on by these defamatory accusations, together with punitive damages designed to make sure Canelo learns his lesson.”
Perhaps after Canelo’s boxing match wraps up, he’ll have time to retract his assertion and apologize? Or, extra seemingly, he’ll share some extra alternative phrases with De La Hoya.
Keep tuned for additional developments.
