Boxing has been a prominent enterprise for many years in Mexico. In the heart of Mexico, where a passion for the sport runs through the veins of every citizen, there exists a fervent debate that echoes in the bustling streets and resonates within the boxing rings. Recent rumors circulating the mill about Showtime dropping boxing have left the future uncertain.

However, amidst this uncertainty, one figure remains confident about the everlasting nature of boxing in the country- Canelo Alvarez’s coach, Eddy Reynoso. During a press conference held ahead of Canelo and Charlo’s bout this Saturday, Reynoso faced some hard-hitting questions. He answered them skillfully and confidently.

Eddy Reynoso and Canelo Alvarez: Torchbearers for Mexican Boxing

Recently, Canelo Alvarez’s coach reignited the debate, firmly stating that UFC could never overshadow boxing in Mexico. This declaration energized the boxing community and sparked discussions about the enduring legacy of champions in this beloved sport.

The coach’s unwavering confidence resonates with every Mexican national. “Boxing is always going to be king,” he declared. He acknowledged what Dana White said about the UFC’s beginnings, yet deep down, he firmly believes that boxing resides in the very soul of every Mexican, an unshakable truth that no other sport can overshadow. In Mexico, boxing has always had its iconic figures, from Julio Cesar Chavez to Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez, showcasing the nation’s rich boxing heritage.

Reynoso remarked, “Boxing is always going to have stars coming up from De La Hoya to Mayweather to Canelo.” The coach’s assertion reflects the sentiment shared by many boxing enthusiasts in Mexico.

These names mean more than personal accomplishments.; they embody the spirit of Mexican boxing and the undying will to succeed against all odds.

Mexico’s Boxing Legacy

Despite UFC’s attempts to enter the Mexican market, the loyalty of Mexican fans to boxing remains steadfast. In April, disappointment spread among fans when the UFC announced no immediate plans to return to Mexico, despite having champions like Brandon Moreno, Alexa Grasso, and Yair Rodriguez. According to MMA Mania, many felt it was the perfect time for a major event, given the presence of these champions. Dana White, the UFC president, is reportedly working actively to make this happen, indicating the sport’s enduring appeal in Mexico.
