Who’s the face of boxing? This is a moot point where critics, boxers, and fans argue and provide their respective reasons. However, the names topping this chart are Canelo Alvarez, Terence Crawford, and Gervonta Davis. Speaking of which, ‘Bud’ defeated Errol Spence Jr., keeping his Welterweight title in his recent bout. Furthermore, ‘Tank’ portrayed his boxing camaraderie in a commendable win against Ryan Garcia.
Although subjected to speculation about his past performances, ‘Cinnamon’ defeated Jermell Charlo a few days before retaining his super middleweight title. Furthermore, he shunned all his censures and proved that he is still the king of the ring. Moreover, in a recent post, making circles on social media, fans rallied behind the Mexican Boxer as the post posed a question about him being the “face of boxing.”
