Canelo Alvarez didn’t hold back when one foolish fan asked the boxing icon to hit him.
In recent years, fight fans have wanted to know what it feels like to take a shot from some of the most well-trained athletes in the world. So anytime someone bumps into a professional boxer or a mixed martial artist, they immediately ask to be hit.
In many cases, the fighters oblige, offering up maybe 50% of their power — just enough to let the fans know what separates them.
Clearly, Canelo didn’t get the memo.
Fresh off a dominant unanimous decision victory over Jaime Munguía in Las Vegas, Canelo was attending an event when a fan approached him, asking to be hit in the body by the undisputed super middleweight world champion. In the clip, which you can see below, Canelo doesn’t hold anything back, uncorking a vicious body blow before turning around and walking away like nothing had happened.

Conor McGregor has offered Oscar De La Hoya and Canelo Alvarez a chance to fight each other after their altercation on Wednesday.
Alvarez is set to box Jaime Munguia on Saturday night at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada. It’s a highly-anticipated fight, and on Wednesday, a press conference was held and Alvarez and De La Hoya got into it.
De La Hoya used to promote Alvarez but the two had a falling out, and it has not been pleasant. During the press conference, De La Hoya claimed he made Alvarez who he is.
“But that doesn’t change the fact that Golden Boy built Canelo Alvarez, period. The company you fought under for decades has always had one name, and it’s mine, so put some f***** respect on it,” De La Hoya said (via BloodyElbow).
After those comments, Alvarez and De La Hoya got into it verbally as it was a heated altercation.
After the heated press conference, McGregor took to social media to offer them to settle their difference inside the BKFC ring.
“I’d love these two go at it Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship. Take off the gloves and fight, bitch!,” McGregor wrote.
Although McGregor is wanting to see Canelo Alvarez and Oscar De La Hoya box, at De La Hoya’s age, he likely will never box again, especially against Alvarez.
McGregor has been in attendance for some BKFC events in the past and according to Dave Feldman, the Irishman will have a lot of say in the company.
“We wouldn’t have gotten Conor McGregor involved to be a silent owner,” Feldman said on Sirius XM’s “MMA Today.” “Like, we don’t just want him to be a partner and not say anything and not do anything and not help move the needle. We got him involved to really help move the needle for us, to do different introductions, come up with some good ideas.
“He built himself into superstardom, so hopefully he can help some other fighters do that, as well. He’s a minority owner, but he has a lot of say in this company. He’s going to be part of the board. So we’re going to get a lot of usage out of Conor McGregor. And so far, so good. You know, very, very enthusiastic. I just hope things keep moving that way.”
Although McGregor is a part-owner of BKFC, he won’t be fighting for the promotion. The Irishman is still under contract with the UFC, as he will return to the Octagon on June 29 against Michael Chandler.

Super middleweight champion, Canelo Alvarez is set for his first outing inside the ring later this year, taking on silver super middleweight champion and compatriot, Jaime Munguia in a WBA, WBC, WBO, and IBF super middleweight championship fight on May 4. from the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Canelo, who most recently featured atop a pay-per-view card in September of last year in ‘Sin City’, extended his winning streak to three straight fights in a one-sided decision win over Jermell Charlo in a championship clash between the duo.
And as for Munguia, the Tijuana native improved his unbeaten professional record to 43-0 back in January in Phoenix, Arizona – retaining his WBC silver super middleweight championship in a ninth round TKO win over common-foe, John Ryder.
Canelo Alvarez meets Jaime Munguia on May 4. in Las Vegas
Linked with a title fight against either Munguia or Puerto Rico puncher, Edgar Berlanga – Canelo’s Alvarez championship fight with the former was first reported by ESPN journalist, Salvador Rodriguez.
“#CaneloMunguia 4 de Mayo T-Mobile Arena Prime Video PPV + DAZN PPV,” Rodriguez posted on his official X account.
A certain force to be reckoned with at the super middleweight limit, emerging Tijuana punisher, Munguia moved to 43-0 with his knockout win over Ryder two months ago, adding the former to an ever-growing list of victories against notable contenders, which includes the likes of Sadam Ali, Liam Smith, Dennis Hogan, Gary O’Sullivan, Jimmy Kelly, and Sergiy Dereyanchenko.
May’s title clash with Munguia will come as Mexican veteran, Canelo’s whopping thirteenth straight world championship fight – as he returns to ‘Sin City’ for another blockbuster showcase in Paradise, Nevada.
