Canelo Alvarez and Jermell Charlo are all set for a highly anticipated boxing match on Saturday, September 30. Ahead of the match, Alvarez has blasted off at Mike Tyson's former trainer. Here is what went down!
Mike Tyson's former trainer, Teddy Atlas, is now a boxing coach, boxing analyst, and commentator. The 67-year-old has given his opinion on Canelo Alvarez recently.
Teddy Atlas acknowledges Canelo Alvarez's boxing prowess at 33 but suggests he receives undue credit. While recognizing Alvarez as a formidable boxer, Atlas controversially argues that 'Cinnamon' isn't the top Mexican fighter in his view.
He stated, "Canelo has always been overrated. Now, that doesn’t mean that he is not a real good fighter, but he is not the greatest Mexican fighter of all time."
The reigning super-middleweight champion, Alvarez's angry response to Atlas' statement was, "He’s f***ing crazy that guy. F***ing crazy. And you think he knows boxing? F**k."
Saul "Canelo" Alvarez geared up to face Jermell Charlo in this exhilarating fight. Charlo aims to make history by becoming a two-weight undisputed champion, challenging Alvarez for this remarkable achievement.
