The recent press conference between Canelo Alvarez and his opponent Edgar Berlanga, has drawn interest from fans all around the world. As the two fighters engaged in a heated confrontation, many praised Alvarez for his trash-talking ability.

Alvarez successfully defended his IBF, WBA, WBC, WBO, and The Ring super middleweight titles with a unanimous decision over Jaime Munguia in May. While he was stripped of his IBF title for not facing the IBF's No. 1 contender, William Scull, the Mexican superstar will defend the remaining titles when he fights Berlanga on Sept. 14 at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.

The expected buildup to the Alvarez vs. Berlanga fight intensified on Tuesday as both fighters met for the second time at a press conference in Los Angeles. This time, the two were engaged in a verbal altercation and were on the verge of physical contact. Security eventually had to step in and diffuse the situation.

Boxing journalist Michael Benson took to X and shared a video of the heated altercation between Alvarez and Berlanga.

Edgar Berlanga silences all outside noise as he prepares for the Canelo Alvarez fight

Boxing fans have voiced their disapproval of the Alvarez vs. Berlanga matchup in large numbers, with many calling for Canelo Alvarez to take on Terence Crawford or David Benavidez instead. Edgar Berlanga recently downplayed speculation regarding Alvarez's prospective opponents before their boxing match.

'The Chosen One' made the following statement during the event's initial press conference:

"Listen man, I don't want to hear Benavidez. F**k Benavidez. Shout out to Crawford, you know what I'm saying, but they keep mentioning Crawford...We got business to handle September 14. A lot of people just keep mentioning Benavidez and all these guys, man, y'all know it's not going to happen and that's just that, man. September 14, Berlanga [versus] Canelo, Puerto Rico versus Mexico."
