In a recent development, Oscar De La Hoya has taken legal action against Canelo Alvarez by issuing a cease-and-desist letter. De La Hoya accuses Alvarez of making defamatory allegations, claiming that the Golden Boy Promotions founder stole money from former champion Gennadiy Golovkin and other fighters.
The tensions between De La Hoya and Alvarez escalated during a news conference ahead of Alvarez's upcoming super middleweight championship defense against Jaime Munguia. De La Hoya referenced Alvarez's past positive test for clenbuterol, while Alvarez warned other fighters about potential financial misconduct by De La Hoya.
