Chris Eubank Jr. has revealed why his fight against Canelo Alvarez never happened in October, with the 35-year-old saying that he wasn’t offered enough money for the bout. 

Chris Eubank Jr. was supposed to fight Canelo Alvarez in October, but the super-middleweight bout was cancelled with no explanation given as to why the bout never happened.

Eubank Jr. has spoken this week for the first time since the bout was cancelled, explaining why he never stepped into the ring against Alvarez last month.

“They were trying to make that fight for this September,” Eubank said. “Me being the businessman that I am, understood that the deal they were giving me was no good.

“For a guy who’s making 35 to 50 million a fight, don’t o

Luis R Conríquez answers some questions during his Billboard cover shoot, including how his “Siempre Pendientes” with Peso Pluma came about and how the performance of “Martes 13” with Canelo came to life.

Luis R Conriquez:

Oscar De La Hoya enjoyed UFC 306, but that didn’t change his mind about Dana White.

For the past several years, De La Hoya and White have taken shots at one another through the media over all manner of things. However, if there’s one person in combat sports De La Hoya is on worse terms with, it’s his former fighter Canelo Alvarez. So this past weekend, when Alvarez fought Edgar Berlanga, going head-to-head with “Noche UFC” in Las Vegas on Mexican Independence Day weekend, the boxing Hall of Famer declared he would attend UFC 306 instead of the boxing event.

Apparently De La Hoya did just that, and rather enjoyed himself at Sphere.

“UFC Noche. I was true to my word,” De La Hoya said on Instagram. “I did attend last Saturday. I sat in [Chairman of Saudi Arabia’s General Entertainment Authority] Turki [Alalshikh’s] box upstairs and I have to be honest with you, it was beautiful. It was spectacular. It looked really cool. The production value was there, everything was amazing. The fights were actually really good. So congratulations to Turki for footing the bill on this and maki

Edgar Berlanga has had enough of Oscar De La Hoya.

This Saturday, Berlanga challenges Canelo Alvarez for the WBC, WBA, WBO, and Ring Magazine super middleweight title. It’s the biggest fight of Berlanga’s career but his placement in the fight also caused considerable backlash as fans and pundits view the 22-0 boxer beneath Alvarez, who is one of the top-ranked pound-for-pound fighters in the sport.

Among those critics is De La Hoya, who announced this week he is attending UFC 306 at Sphere instead of the boxing match. So on Wednesday during their final pre-fight press conference, Berlanga had some choice words

Just a few days out from his big fight against Edgar Berlanga at the T-Mobile Arena, Canelo Alvarez has admitted that he would be open to a monumental boxing super fight against Conor McGregor.

Ahead of what is a big fight for Canelo Alvarez on Mexcian Independence Day weekend, the main talking point is that his event is going head to head with the monumental UFC 306 event at the Sphere.

Despite that, Canelo, Matchroom, and the UFC are all confident that both events can perform well alongside each other.

Canelo Alvarez open to huge 2025 super fight against Conor McGregor

The huge UFC 306 event is headlined by arguably the UFC’s biggest current active star, Sean O’Malley, who believes the UFC event will largely outperform Canelo’s boxing event.

Someone who did put his name in the hat to headline the once-in-a-lifetime event at the Sphere was Conor McGregor. After his fight against Michael Chandler was canceled this past June, both fighters called for it to be re-booked to take place in the Sphere.

UFC CEO, Dana White, opted against that option though, and recently revealed that the McGregor will not return to action until early 2025.

With that, Canelo has admitted that he would be

Canelo Alvarez expects to make light work of Conor McGregor if the two were ever to meet in the boxing ring.

The super middleweight champion defends his WBA, WBC, and WBO titles against Edgar Berlanga this Saturday, but that hasn’t stopped reporters from asking him what he has lined up for his next fight. Boxing reporter Manouk Akopyan asked Alvarez if he’d ever be interested in fighting UFC star Conor McGregor, which Alvarez found amusing.

“I know, and then we show boxing is better,” Alvarez said, before adding, “Easy, easy, way easy money.”

McGregor, who previously held UFC titles at 145 and 155 pounds, has participated in only one pro boxing bout, a high-profile contest that saw him go

Canelo Alvarez was left in stitches after a vulgar comment from a fan at the ‘Grand Arrivals’ for his upcoming clash with Edgar Berlanga.

The Mexican superstar was in spiteful mood four days out from fight night as he told assembled media that he was planning to make Berlanga pay for his trash talk by ‘breaking his face’.

“I like them like that. I like them to be confident and do a lot of talking,” he said.

“[And] I like breaking their face when they play like that.

“I’m eagerly awaiting that day. It’ll be the beatdown of his life.

“No chance [he wins]. The experience I have, the intelligence, my boxing ability, I’ve already won.”

Despite being in fight mode, Canelo couldn’t help but crack a smile when he heard of one fan’s crude request at the ‘Grand Arrivals’.

A member of Canelo’s adoring crowd told PBC presenter Kinsey Wolanski ahead of his idol’s entrance that he wanted the Mexican superstar to impregnate his wife.

When Wolanski relayed the message to Canelo he burst out laughing.

“Great to see you Canelo, obviously this man needs no introduction,” she said.

“This crowd absolutely loves you, one guy in the back said h
