Oscar De La Hoya
Oscar De La Hoya has truly shocked combat sports fans everywhere. He officially and finally set aside his bitter feud with Dana White today. Instead of watching Canelo Alvarez fight Edgar Berlanga, De La Hoya will attend UFC 306 at the Las Vegas Sphere.
A Shocking Boxing Snub
De La Hoya proudly and publicly called the upcoming UFC event the one everyone will watch. Meanwhile, he dismissed Alvarez and his boxing match entirely. He bluntly labeled it as just another lame Canelo fight. This surprising move instantly sparked intense online debates among loyal boxing fans worldwide.
Dana White Reacts Quickly
Dana White did not hold back his thoughts. The UFC CEO hinted to reporters that De La Hoya secured his tickets through Turki Alalshikh. Riyadh Season is officially sponsoring the event. However, White made one thing absolutely clear. He definitely did not invite the boxing promoter. I do not know where he gets his tickets from, White joked.
Deep Roots Of Rivalry
Furthermore, White quickly suggested a deeper motive behind this specific choice. He believes De La Hoya is simply trying to disrespect Alvarez. Despite his ongoing rivalry with the Golden Boy, White praised Canelo. He confirmed that UFC 306 will honor Alvarez alongside legendary Mexican fighters like Julio Cesar Chavez.
The Broken Promoter Bond
Historically, Oscar De La Hoya and Alvarez shared a very close bond. Golden Boy Promotions proudly represented the Mexican superstar for nearly a decade. Sadly, their partnership ended poorly in twenty twenty. Alvarez sued De La Hoya and DAZN for breach of contract. Consequently, tensions have only continued to grow over time.

Ultimately, this bold and completely unexpected decision adds another wild chapter to their ongoing public drama. Fans are eager to see the Las Vegas spectacle unfold. De La Hoya attending UFC 306 perfectly highlights the fierce competition between boxing and MMA. We will definitely keep you updated on this exciting combat sports saga today.
