If someone is respected and admired in the history of Mexican boxing, that is “The Great Champion” Julio César Chávez , that wherever you are and what you are doing always generates interest and becomes a trend.
Despite his retirement, he has always been attached to boxing, whether as a promoter, trainer or simply a public figure. On this occasion Chávez approached Saúl ‘Canelo’ Álvarez’s camp to give him his support ahead of the big fight next Saturday, May 7.
The fight will take place on the weekend that commemorates the Battle of Puebla on May 5, a very special date for Mexican boxers.
The Grand Champion knows what that date means. Within the professional record that he left (150 victories) there are five victories on the respected date.
Julio César Chávez, always so charismatic and with the gift of people that characterizes him, also took the opportunity to recommend the Mexican boxer’s drink: “Your drink is very tasty.”
El Canelo did not put aside the significant gesture and responded to the publication on social networks: “Thank you, champion”.
In the San Diego gym of course there was also Eddy Reynoso, the trainer of the unified super middleweight champion of the WBA, WBC, WBO, IBF and The Ring.
Reynoso also took the opportunity to hold a talk with Chávez and upload a souvenir photo on your social networks: “I’d like to greet you, idol.”
In the past , Saúl Álvarez and Julio César Chávez were already able to share, especially when the Jr. -with the support of his father- faced Canelo in a meeting baptized Mexican Showdown and held on May 5, 2017 In Las Vegas.
