According to Dan Rafael of espn.con, Middleweight champion Canelo was unaware of the deal his promotional company Golden Boy Promotions made with the IBF that ultimately got him stripped of his belt.
“I’m very upset and ashamed with my fans, to be unfairly stripped of my belt by the IBF, but specially when I did not have the knowledge of the agreement that GBP match maker had signed,” Alvarez wrote Friday evening on social media.
Eric Gomez, the president of Golden Boy, however, backed up Golden Boy Matchmaker Robert Diaz with a post on social media Friday night.
“(Diaz) did nothing wrong,” Gomez wrote. “The IBF has been unfair to Canelo since he won the title in May. Oscar De La Hoya and I stand by Roberto 1000%.”
