There is no love lost between Canelo Alvarez and Oscar De La Hoya.
Alvarez, the reigning undisputed super middleweight champion, was once in a partnership with De La Hoya, an International Boxing Hall of Famer. Things quickly deteriorated between the two sides, leading to a nasty split. Canelo is currently signed to Al Haymon’s Premier Boxing Champions promotion, but he had fights under Eddie Hearn’s Matchroom Boxing.

Ahead of his fight on Saturday against Golden Boy Promotions’ Jaime Munguia, super middleweight champion Canelo Álvarez took aim at his opponent’s promoter, Oscar De La Hoya.
“He’s a f–king assh–e. That’s what I say. He’s a f–king assh–e. He tries to get attention for him, not Munguia. He’s a f–king assh–e. He steals [from his] fighters. F–king p—y. Motherf–ker,” Álvarez said of De La Hoya during a pre-fight press conference on Wednesday (h/t TMZ).

“This is going to be a great Mexican war,” Canelo Alvarez said at the final pre-fight press conference. “Munguia and I both come to win, but I am going to win and win decisively.

Jaime Munguia: Inside the ring, that respect goes out the window
Undefeated former super welterweight champion Munguia (43-0, 34 KOs) looks to become world champion in his second weight division. As well as his opponent, the 27-year-old native of Tijuana, Baja California promised a knockout.
“I’m so happy and excited that this fight is almost here,” Jaime Munguia said. “My team has been behind me the whole way and all the fans can expect a full out Mexican war. Make sure to tune in, you will not be disappointed.”
“Canelo has a great deal of experience and has faced great fighters. I may not have the same resume, but I have youth on my side. I’m going to showcase my capabilities on Saturday night.”

“We’ve worked on so much with Freddie Roach and had an amazing training camp. You’re going to see everything that we’ve learned on Saturday night.”
“I’m glad that he wants to knock me out, because I come with the same mentality. I’m gonna knock him out. It’s gonna be a great fight.”
“This is an amazing moment and I’m really excited to show everyone what I can do. Fighting on his undercard was one thing, but now I’m ready to step up to my moment.”
“Outside the ring, Canelo has all my respect, but inside the ring, that respect goes out the window.”

In the co-feature to Canelo vs Munguia, San Antonio’s Mario Barrios (28-2, 18 KOs) defends his interim WBC welterweight title against Fabian Andres Maidana (22-2, 16 KOs) of Argentina. Also on the card, Brandon Figueroa (24-1-1, 18 KOs) of Weslaco, Texas defends his interim WBC featherweight belt against former world champion Jessie Magdaleno (29-2, 18 KOs) of Las Vegas. Plus, Lithuanian WBA welterweight champion Eimantas Stanionis (14-0, 9 KOs) defends his strap against two-time Olympian Gabriel Maestre (6-0-1, 5 KOs) of Venezuela.
Undisputed super middleweight champion Canelo Alvarez has given challenger Jaime Munguia nothing but respect in the lead-up to their May 4 clash.
But there was plenty of vitriol between the Mexican superstar and his former promoter Oscar De La Hoya at the final pre-bout press conference Wednesday.
Canelo (60-2-2, 39 KOs) spent most of his professional career under the Golden Boy Promotions banner, transitioning from a bright young prospect to boxing’s biggest attraction. But after becoming a multi-weight world champion, Canelo parted ways with De La Hoya’s company in 2020 and aligned himself with both Matchroom Boxing and the PBC.
It was a messy split, and the subsequent years have done nothing to quell the angst between fighter and former promoter.
“I have nothing but respect for Canelo Alvarez as a fighter; his record and abilities speak for themselves,” De La Hoya told the assembled media in Las Vegas. “But he has spent much of the last two months insulting me rather than promoting this fight. Yes, I’ve faced a lot of challenges in my li
