Canelo and De La Hoya's Fiery Vegas Confrontation
Tension was palpable in the air at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas on Wednesday as boxing superstars Canelo Alvarez and Oscar De La Hoya engaged in a fiery confrontation ahead of Canelo’s championship bout against Jaime Munguia. The heated exchange between the two Mexican-American icons, whose tumultuous relationship stems from their acrimonious split in 2020, threatened to steal the spotlight from the much-anticipated title fight.
The drama unfolded during the final pre-fight press conference when De La Hoya, the Golden Boy Promotions founder who had previously guided Canelo’s career, took aim at his former prized fighter.
