At the Los Angeles press conference for the upcoming Canelo Alvarez vs. Edgar Berlanga fight on September 14th at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, things took a heated turn as both fighters engaged in a tense confrontation.
Berlanga, holding an impressive record of 22 wins and 17 knockouts, managed to rile up Canelo by demanding him to be quiet and not interrupt him. The situation escalated when Berlanga began using profanities in Spanish, causing a breakdown in decorum and an abrupt end to the press conference.
Canelo issued a stern warning to Berlanga, reminding him to show respect for the significant monetary offer at stake. He cautioned Berlanga that any physical altercation could jeopardize the substantial sum of money involved in their upcoming fight on September 14th.
Despite Berlanga’s efforts to provoke Canelo by mentioning fighting styles and IQ, Canelo remained composed and unaffected. With Berlanga leaning more towards brawling rather than technical boxing, he needs to concentrate on hyping the fight and convincing supporters that he has a chance against Canelo.
In a tense back-and-forth, Berlanga and Canelo exchanged words, with Berlanga expressing his readiness for an intense battle in the ring while Canelo displayed confidence in his skills. The tension between them was palpable, with Berlanga highlighting his Puerto Rican background while Canelo brushed off his challenges.
The press conference underscored the intensity of the impending fight and the personal rivalry between Canelo and Berlanga. Fans can catch the action on PBC via Prime Video and DAZN PPV as both fighters aim to leave a mark in the ring.
