The former boxer and promoter, Oscar de la Hoya, became a trend in the days before the fight between Saúl “Canelo” Álvarez and Jaime Munguía, after getting involved with the fighter from Jalisco, who at some point was his representative and with whom It is not in the best terms.
During the pre-fight conference at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Canelo accused the Mexican-American of trying to steal money from him, which is why he stopped working on his side, a situation that was answered by De La Hoya, remembering one of the most most controversial moments of the undisputed super middleweight champion, which is related to his problem with doping.
However, after a confrontation that came close to hitting and accusations from Álvarez, the promoter continued with the provocations, uploading a video to his social networks that quickly became a trend. In this recording, “El Golden Boy” appears dancing while wearing a robe, next to a model who is washing a car.
The song he danced to during his video was “Im Blessed” by boxer Ryan García, with whom Canelo Álvarez had problems at some point, after separating from Eddy Reynoso, although in recent months they seem to have made peace.
