“ENJOY YOUR FIRST AND LAST PPV”, Edgar Berlanga Has Threatened To SMACK Oscar De La Hoya At A Boxing Match Against Canelo Alvarez.
Edgar Berlanga has stirred up significant controversy by threatening to “smack” Oscar De La Hoya during the buildup to a potential fight against boxing legend Canelo Álvarez. Berlanga, known for his knockout power and rising star status in the super middleweight division, has never been shy about voicing his confidence, but his latest outburst has taken the rivalry to a personal level.
The tension between Berlanga and De La Hoya seems to have escalated during talks of a future matchup with Canelo, who is promoted by De La Hoya’s Golden Boy Promotions. Berlanga, who has been chasing a high-profile fight with the Mexican superstar, is frustrated by the perceived roadblocks that have prevented the bout from materializing. In an interview, Berlanga threatened to confront De La Hoya directly if the fight with Canelo doesn’t move forward, saying, “If I see him, I’m going to smack him.”
This threat has added a fiery new layer to the ongoing buildup of a potential Berlanga vs. Canelo fight, as De La Hoya plays a pivotal role in managing Canelo’s career. While it’s unclear whether Berlanga’s comments were meant as a serious warning or as a tactic to hype up the fight, the comment has certainly drawn attention in the boxing world.
Oscar De La Hoya, a former world champion and Hall of Famer, has yet to publicly respond to Berlanga’s threat, but the exchange adds more intrigue to an already highly anticipated potential bout. Canelo, who has faced the best of the best in the sport, is still regarded as the top dog in the division, and Berlanga has made it clear that he’s ready to challenge that dominance, using any means necessary to make the fight happen.
Whether the tension between Berlanga and De La Hoya will impact negotiations for a future fight with Canelo remains to be seen, but one thing is certain: Berlanga is not holding back in his quest to make a name for himself at the highest level of boxing.
