On September 13, boxing fans will witness one of the most anticipated fights of the year. The showdown between Canelo Alvarez and Terence Crawford will not go unnoticed and through controversial statements, the preview of a duel that could mark the year for the boxing world is already heating up.

The first press conference for the fight was recently held in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, and the boxers did not hold back. Both Canelo and Crawford challenged each other and delivered statements that caused a great stir in public opinion and even generated responses from other sides.

Canelo Alvarez’s confidence was clear from the start. When asked if a loss to Crawford could damage his brand, the Mexican replied confidently: “He’s not going to beat me. Don’t worry about that. I think this fight is going to go down in the boxing history books, for sure. That’s for sure,” explained Canelo, who quickly received a response from his opponent.

“Of course, those belts are coming with me. They’re coming home with me, I’m telling you right now. And there’s nothing you’re going to be able to do about it on fight night,” Clawford replied to Canelo. The war of words quickly escalated, with Canelo Alvarez issuing a warning, even mentioning the powerful Turki Alalshikh: “I know Turki is in your corner. But look, it’s going to be very difficult. He’s going to be very angry that day, believe me.” Crawford’s response was equally blunt: “You’ll see that I’m different,” to which Canelo replied: “You’re nothing different.”

Oscar De La Hoya’s statements

In the midst of this crossfire, Oscar De La Hoya, who promoted Canelo under Golden Boy Promotions from 2010 to 2020, was quick to join the debate. The relationship between De La Hoya and Canelo, marked by professional disagreements and personal tensions that culminated in a legal battle and their eventual separation, remains tense

Watching the video of the exchange on Instagram, De La Hoya asked his own probing questions: “Can Crawford teach and do what Mayweather did to Canelo? Or will two weight divisions at 150 pounds be too much for Crawford..?” This last question is key, as Crawford will be moving up two categories for this mega fight.

But De La Hoya’s criticism was not limited to sports analysis. In his “Clap Back Thursday” video, the “Golden Boy” directly attacked the scheduling of the fight. He questioned the decision to have the Canelo-Crawford fight broadcast on Netflix during the day, accusing that it was “just to accommodate the UFC card later that day on another channel”. De La Hoya did not hesitate to ask: “Don’t they care about the fans or the ratings?” and he quipped that UFC, with “a bunch of fighters nobody knows, will be in prime time”.

The response of the authorities

The response was swift. During the press conference, General Entertainment Authority (GEA) Chairman Turki Alalshikh responded to De La Hoya’s criticism with sarcasm. “I decided with Dana White to have breakfast at the MGM at 10 a.m. Then we’ll go to the arena to have the fights quickly, and we’ll go to dinner,” he said, completely dismissing his critic’s concerns. Alalshikh concluded bluntly: “Oscar De La Hoya is wasting my time.”

There is no doubt that the fight is heating up from all sides and this only makes it even more attractive. Canelo and Crawford will have the last word to see who gets the win in one of the hottest and most anticipated fights for boxing fans.

Jon Jones retires: UFC president Dana White announces end of legendary career; Tom Aspinall now full champion

Jon Jones is walking away from mixed martial arts. Following a two-year build to a superfight against interim titleholder Tom Aspinall that never came to fruition as UFC repeatedly refused to strip the inactive "Bones" of his heavyweight championship, the 37-year-old Jones informed the promotion late Friday that he is retiring.UFC president/CEO Dana White, who had recently given Jones a public deadline of two weeks to decide whether he's returning, revealed the news Saturday during a press conference following a UFC Fight Night card in Baku, Azerbaijan. "Jon Jones called us last night and retired," White said. "Jon Jones is officially retired. Tom Aspinall is the heavyweight champion of the UFC." A two-division champion and long-time light heavyweight king, Jones (28-1, 1 NC), has attained almost universal status as the greatest fighter in the 32-year history of the UFC and the sport […]

Cubs could get a much-needed rotation boost with Shota Imanaga’s expected return

CHICAGO — The Cubs are on the verge of getting a much-needed reinforcement to their rotation. Lefty Shota Imanaga made his third rehab start on Friday night with the Iowa Cubs and is expected to join the big-league club at some point next week during their four-game series in St. Louis against the Cardinals.Advertisement“Everything went great,” manager Craig Counsell said. “Did what we hoped he would do. He’s in a position to be ready, so he’s going to join us in St. Louis, and we’ll figure out the next steps.“He’s gonna make his next start in the big leagues.”The Cubs have generally preferred to keep Imanaga on five days’ rest, so starting the finale in St. Louis on Thursday could make sense. After two outings in the Complex League, Imanaga tossed 4 1/3 shutout innings at Triple A Friday evening, […]

Fluminense sofre apagão, Renato corrige erros e Keno é decisivo em vitória sobre o Ulsan no Mundial de Clubes

O Fluminense provou do veneno que aplicou no Borussia Dortmund na estreia da Copa do Mundo de Clubes e quase perdeu para o Ulsan pela segunda rodada do Grupo F, neste sábado, no Metlife, em Nova Jersey. No meio da discussão entre a motivação dos europeus para a disputa da competição, a equipe brasileira relaxou após bom início e flertou com a derrota para a equipe da Coréia do Sul, que fez um jogo de transição e surpreendeu a defesa tricolor. Mas a escrete comanda por Renato Gaúcho conseguiu se recuperar da virada sofrida no primeiro tempo com mudanças do técnico na etapa final, e fechou em 4 a 2 nos últimos minutos, com atuação decisiva de Keno. O resultado, com gols de Arias, Nonato, Freytes e Keno, deixa o Fluminense como líder e por um empate com o time […]
