Canelo Alvarez and Oscar De La Hoya were once the most talked-about duo in the boxing world. The Mexican King had been with ‘Golden Boy Promotions’ for a long period of time. Unfortunately, something went off between the boxer and the promoter, which resulted in a split-up. Recently, De La Hoya disclosed what happened with him and Alvarez. 

While talking to ‘MMAFightingonSBN’, the promoter was asked, “Ultimately what went wrong with Canelo?”

To which he replied, “It’s a long, long, long story. You know, there were certain powerhouses and players who were against us at golden boy. I mean, we’ve had many, many enemies man, I’ve been fighting people left and right. Promoting is a tough business, and when they want to take you down, it’s a tough business to be in. But we survived it, we had to sign the contracts and let them go. I really can’t get into details of what exactly happened, but you know it was a very unfortunate situation for us.”

The duo had been together for some of the biggest matches of Alvarez’s career. It was one of the most contentious breakups in history, generating hundreds of headlines. However, ‘The Golden Boy of Boxing’ still has a soft spot for Alvarez, which he frequently expresses in interviews and tweets.

After ‘Saul Alvarez’s’ loss against Dmitry Bivol, the entire world was making comments about the match. Amidst this, De La Hoya took to Twitter and wrote to Alvarez, “It isn’t too late (yet) to switch back to the best promoter.”
