Alvarez, De La Hoya Trade Insults During Tense Final Pre-Fight Press Conference

Oscar De La Hoya overdelivered on his promise of verbal fireworks.

Tension was expected between the chairman of Golden Boy Promotions and his former top client, Ring and undisputed 168-pound king Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez. The two shared the stage for the first time since 2019, a year before their bitter 2020 promotional split. De La Hoya was on hand to support Tijuana’s Jaime Munguia, whom he co-promotes along with Zanfer Boxing. Munguia will challenge Alvarez (60-2-2, 39 knockouts) this Saturday at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
