Conor McGregor proposes BKFC fight between Canelo Alvarez and Oscar De La Hoya after verbal spat

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.

Conor McGregor becomes part-owner of BKFC

Conor McGregor is now a part-owner of BKFC, it was revealed during the KnuckleMania 4 broadcast.

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.

Conor McGregor has a lot to say as part of BKFC deal we're gonna get a lot of usage out of him

“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.

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. 

Riding a three-fight winning run into his return in May, Guadalajara favorite, Canelo Alvarez added the above-mentioned, Charlo to a winning spree which includes a decision win over the previously noted British challenger, Ryder – and a trilogy success over Gennady Golovkin over the course of 12 rounds in the pair’s third fight. 

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.

Ilia Topuria wants to fight Canelo Alvarez

Days after claiming his first UFC title, newly minted featherweight champion Ilia Topuria is already eyeing a potential showdown with one of the biggest names in professional boxing — Canelo Alvarez.

On Saturday, February 17, ‘El Matador’ shocked the world with a vicious second-round knockout of Alexander Volkanovski in the UFC 298 main event. Since then, Topuria has been living it up, receiving a hero’s welcome in his return to Spain and calling out some of the biggest names in combat sports. Speaking with Joe Rogan immediately following his title-winning performance, Topuria called for a clash with Irish megastar Conor McGregor inside the Octagon.

On Thursday, the trend continued at a press event where Topuria expressed interest in a boxing match with the multi-time world champion.

Canelo Alvarez is one of the most revered athletes in the history of the sweet science. He has held world championships in four different weight classes from light middleweight to light heavyweight, including unified titles in three of those weight classes and lineal titles in two. He holds an impressive 60-2 record with 39 of his wins via knockout.

This is not the first time Ilia Topuria has expressed an interest in testing out his boxing skills against Alvarez. During a November appearance on the Overdogs Podcast — three months before his earth-shattering KO against Alexander Volkanovski — ‘El Matador’ shared his desire to step inside the squared circle with the Mexican sensation.

“I would love to fight one day with Canelo,” Topuria said. “I have so, so much respect for him. But I wanna fight with him one day. Once I win the belt and become a UFC world champion, I wanna go for him. Because I really think I have a chance with him. I’ve been following him forever. I believe I have the possibility to beat him.
