Oscar De La Hoya sends shocking warning to Canelo Álvarez

Oscar De La Hoya, the legendary former boxer, hasn’t hesitated to issue a strong warning to Canelo Álvarez before his highly anticipated showdown with Terence Crawford.

This highly anticipated fight will take place in september after months of speculation and promises to be an epic battle that could redefine both fighters’ careers.

The battle for glory

At 34 years old, Canelo Álvarez will put his unified super middleweight titles (WBC, WBA, and WBO) on the line against the unstoppable Terence “Bud” Crawford, who, if victorious, would have the opportunity to make history by becoming a five-division world champion.

However, the Mexican star is aiming for even greater glory, to become the undisputed super middleweight champion for a second time. But to do that, he must first defeat IBF champion William Scull in May. If Canelo succeeds, the fight with Crawford could be the stage where both fighters battle for something bigger: total supremacy.
