There is less and less left for the fight between the Mexican Saúl ‘Canelo’ Álvarez and the American Jermell Charlo to take place at the T-Mobile in the city of Las Vegas, in Nevada; For this duel, the current undisputed super middleweight champion has been quite focused on emerging victorious and demonstrating that he still has a lot of boxing to offer in the ring.
Despite this titanic work that he has done in recent months, the man from Guadalajara spoke with the media to generate controversy due to the lack of support that boxing has received in recent years within Mexico; He also questioned whether football receives greater support from institutions than himself.

“I think that makes me very proud because I carry the boxing flag. Although they have not supported boxing too much, I believe that the greatest glory of Mexico is boxing, that’s the truth. Football fans are much bigger than boxing. “Soccer is the most supported sport and with the most Mexican fans, outside of me, because I am full stop,” he expressed.
Finally, the man from Guadalajara highlighted that he has registered a higher level of rating in most of his fights than many soccer matches, which is why he considered that greater value should be given to boxing and the figures who are trying to emerge in it. .
“Boxing does not have the same support as football, far from it. I have had more ratings than a soccer game“I have had more ratings, but I am a point and apart,” Canelo concluded.
