Eddie Hearn has been told by rival promoter Oscar De La Hoya that he is to blame for Canelo Alvarez 's loss to Dmitry Bivol.
Alvarez came up short in his bid to win the WBA light-heavyweight title when he was outpointed by Bivol on May 7 in Las Vegas. The Mexican superstar will move back down to super-middleweight to defend his undisputed titles against Gennady Golovkin in a highly-anticipated trilogy fight.
De La Hoya, who promoted Alvarez up until late 2020, says the Mexican was in a "lose-lose situation" by fighting Bivol. De La Hoya scolded Hearn's knowledge of boxing for putting the fight together and thinks Bivol was "irrelevant" before beating Alvarez.
