Canelo Álvarez accused of blocking two media critics from covering his fight
LA TimesCanelo Álvarez celebrates after defeating Jaime Munguia during a super middleweight title fight Saturday in Las Vegas. Before his win over Jaime Munguia, Canelo Álvarez was accused of influencing the denial of credentials for two well-known sports reporters, Ricardo Celis and David Faitelson. It’s like a warning, ‘If you talk bad about me, the same thing that happened to Ricardo and David is going to happen to you.’ It is a very bad precedent.” Celis has called Álvarez’s fights since the Mexican fought Rocky Fielding at Madison Square Garden in 2018. Álvarez’s team representative, Kanessa Tixe, told the Los Angeles Times en Español that the Mexican boxer’s team did not handle media credentials, and had no comment to the alleged veto imposed on Celis and Faitelson.
