Unbeaten super-middleweight elite, Edgar Berlanga has umpteen fans in his corner, but rapper Lil Wayne might be the biggest one.
The multiple-time Grammy award winner has always been a boxing fan. He accompanied Floyd Mayweather in his walk-out for the fight against Canelo Alvarez in 2013 and performed a live song.
That said, Lil Wayne has a new favorite now. He is seemingly a Berlanga fan as he wants a life-size cardboard cutout of the pugilist in his booth.
