Canelo Alvarez and Teofimo Lopez Join Forces Ahead of Mexican Independence Day Showdown

In a thrilling twist for boxing fans, Canelo Alvarez has teamed up with Teofimo Lopez for some high-octane training sessions as he prepares to face Edgar Berlanga on Mexican Independence Day. As the old saying goes, “Iron sharpens iron,” and who better to spar with than a fellow champion?

Alvarez, widely regarded as the best pound-for-pound boxer, brings his wealth of experience from 65 fights to the training camp. A recent clip shared by ‘Boxing Kingdom’ on Twitter shows Alvarez teaching Lopez techniques to escape tough situations against the ropes, with Lopez acting as the aggressor in real-time drills. This collaboration is intriguing, as Lopez isn’t training to mimic Berlanga, leaving fans wondering about the purpose behind their alliance.

Canelo is no stranger to mentoring young talent; he previously trained with Ryan Garcia, though their partnership ended due to Garcia’s erratic behavior. Meanwhile, Alvarez continues to dominate the combat sports scene. Despite the UFC hosting events on the same night as Canelo’s fights, Alvarez’s popularity remains unmatched. The UFC has even lowered ticket prices in response, proving that Canelo Alvarez remains a formidable force in the ring and beyond.
